So I have to admit that I really don't know who she was. But I am impressed by her tenacity: 26 rejections.
I should remember that when I get a rejection letter for a publication.
yeah B,
I'll have to keep her in mind too, when the evil editors (er, I meant genius editors) turn me down.
Yeah. I was pretty sure you meant 'genius.'
