"Remember the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Ironweed by William Kennedy was rejected by 13 publishers before Saul Bellow intervened on its behalf. In rejecting Laurence J. Peter’s The Peter Principle, an editor wrote that he could “foresee no commercial possibilities in such a book.”"

14 Best-Selling Books Repeatedly Rejected by Publishers

Amazing... I can't believe those authors have been rejected so many times. My stories have only been rejected like 2-3 times; guess I still can work on it.
The problem is I can't find proper publishers.
Really, I don't expect to be some great writer; I know I have a lot to improve. But I write w/ my heart, and I believe I'm progressing. So far probably no one really reads them. But I'll keep writing. At least I have to finish doing something.
