I’ve been writing daily about my writing ‘career’ for the past few weeks. I’ve been sending stuff off for 25 years. And so I talk about rejection, obviously, it goes with the territory.

One thing I say is that I should remind 15 year old me of everything I have done. That child would have been amazed. So I always try to remember that, be amazed. Even when it’s a no.
