2. Even the greats took a long rode. Janet Evanovich wrote three novels that never got published. She kept writing—so should you.
3. Be ready when opportunity finally knocks. Enjoy some great advice from agent Janet Reid.
4. Combat rejection. Receiving lots of rejections? Agent Jill Corcoran offers her sometimes colorful advice in dealing with it.
5. Stay positive. Nathan Bransford offers up Ten Commandments for the happy writer. Guess what number ten is?
Nancy Parish runs the blog, The Sound and Furry. She is a contributing editor to the GLA blog and runs the Footnotes series. She is currently writing novels for children.
