Writers, even successful ones, have their work rejected. While we are told to stay positive, rejection is a kind of failure. According to many adages, failure is neccessary for success.
One of my favorite quotes (from my point of view as a writer) is this one from Winston Churchill:
"Success consits of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."
Is that not the best quote for writers? I love it.
Here are some others:
"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." - Abe Lincoln.
"Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success." - Dale Carnegie
"Failure is success, if we learn from it." - Malcom Forbes
"It is better to be a failure at something you love, than a success at something you hate." - George Burns
If you seek out quotes and wisdom about success, you will find that most of them mention failure as being part of the process, and not in a negative way. It is important for writers to always view rejection and struggles as part of the process to improve their craft and achieve publishing goals.
