I’ve been reading about how bad the market is and how hard it is to get published right now.

I don’t particularly care.

If the market or my writing style or a smudge the mailman left on my query envelope keeps me raking in the rejections….

Fine.

I’m working on the prequel to the series, and I can try my hand querying it when the economy’s better.

But just because the economy is bad, it doesn’t mean I’m going to use that as an excuse to give up.  I’m not going to stop querying and deathgrip my agent list in the hope that the recession will end.

Suck it up, people, and get back to your keyboards.  These stories aren’t going to write themselves.
