My apologies---your comment got caught in my spam filter. <i>Anyway, it was done for laughs and fun and promotion of a self published book.</i> I think we all realized it was done in fun, Mary. And I hope you realize the comments here are intended to poke fun at the industry and the writers' mindset. Sort of like whistling in a...well, graveyard. :) Hope you had fun doing it, & hope the promo works out for you. Always glad to help. ;) Well, howdy, Mary!

(ok, yeah, I've gone around the bend here...) ;) Lol, Suzanne. :)

Check out the site, download the little article "Putting the Fun Back Into Funerals" on the Media Page. It's not about rejection (and baby, I've been rejected way way way more than sixteen times, just decided to go the direction of the funeral for this one). Anyway, it was done for laughs and fun and promotion of a self published book. The entire world is changing, including the publishing industry, we've got to find new ways out of our little rooms and into storybooks (or Kindle's). Thanks for writing about it.

I know people react to rejection in different ways, but we'd be missing a lot of good writers if they'd all given up that fast. Like Ann says: sixteen!?
