That's my advice through the times of rejections, the times spent wondering whether we will ever get published.
Keep taking those ideas and putting them into words, and then hone those words so that they spin the scene, the emotions, the characters, the plot.
Keep writing, keep editing, keep improving. Realize that we shouldn't write for the glory of being recognized; most of us, even traditionally published, will not see a huge number of readers. Give those words life, and they may change the world even if nobody else ever reads them, because they have changed us.

I believe that everyone here comes with good intent. If you come to spoil my assumptions by verbal abuse, excessive profanity, spam or other abuses I had not considered, I reserve the right to delete your notes or delete your participation. I am the arbiter of what violates good intent.
