| | |  Quote of the Week - Isabella Rupp
Emmy-nominated producer Isabella Rupp was the guest speaker at the 17th Annual Student Arts Festival - the High School Exhibition in East Hampton, New York, this past weekend, where she encouraged students to become storytellers. Using J.K. Rowling as a specific example of a famous storyteller, Rupp said: Quote:
“JK Rowling’s first manuscript for 'Harry Potter' was rejected 12 times,” Rupp encouraged. “Just because your stories aren’t always successful, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep telling them.”

Now that's a very good quote, indeed 
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

wonder how those people who rejected PS/SS feel now? I'm sure they look back (reluctantly) on it as a "career defining moment"!!! LMAO!!
this is great advice for struggling writers - publisher rejections shouldn't necessarily be taken as a bad thing if you're confident in your ability as a story teller.

That's very true; however, I think that JK was quite exceptional. | |

I agree.
Where would J.K. Rowling be if she just gave up?
