Well, I just got another rejection...and this one is the one that's hurt the most, with things like "no sense of narrative flow, poor grammar and structure, no voice"...etc.
At least they've taken the time to go over my work...but now, I don't know what to do...go on? My work seems fine to me...
give up?

i mentor lots of aspiring writers of all breeds, so i you want a detailed assessment of your writing, just send me the first page and a brief synopsis...
I would love to get that kind of critic! All I get from my friends is "good," "cool," and "Wow! Why would you ever write a book?" I would offer my help, but it seems you already have enough. So good luck and use the critic! Believe me, it'll make you a better writer and author.
Well, I'm not giving up...I'm still licking my wounds though...
But, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger...
Thanks for the encouragament and the help
DON"T GIVE UP! If every writer gave up after a bad rejection letter, then I'm pretty sure there would be no books... I recently received a rejection letter myself, and after a crying/ranting fit, I sat down and looked over my work. You know what? It didn't suck. It has a place in the world somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. Same goes for you
