I think this is such an important topic, Eva, and the rejections build thicker skin. I spent the morning with a friend of mine who is a published author and I am going to work out the book publishing details even if it means starting with a self published ebook. I always appreciate your encouragement.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-31522337694739883192012-02-20T09:52:55.875-05:002012-02-20T09:52:55.875-05:00Robin, I guess you are talking about your art and ...Robin, I guess you are talking about your art and not a book proposal. I am sorry that you received the notice, but as you know it really doesn't say anything about your art, just about the judges and possibly the show administrators. We all get them and it is a great subject to cover in your book.If you plan to send your book to a publisher, be prepared for the same reaction and possibly many rewrites. It part of the game. Good luck!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-67332084760567310712012-02-19T16:39:50.685-05:002012-02-19T16:39:50.685-05:00Well, after receiving a new rejection notice today...Well, after receiving a new rejection notice today, I am wondering why I should even bother writing a book, Eva! but these feelings are probably a good topic to include!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-49119485113933365692012-02-19T11:02:15.479-05:002012-02-19T11:02:15.479-05:00What an amazing painting and wonderful story!

Writing this book has been more consuming than a painting, well maybe not more consuming but just as consuming.

I can see why this would be a favored experience. I like Hallie's comment is spot on. Although I think anyone would be tickled to have this painting in their collection, the right people own it..<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-57563992918688676792012-02-16T21:09:22.096-05:002012-02-16T21:09:22.096-05:00Thanks, Terry.
