It was early December 2003, my first season as a Salvation Army bell ringer, when I was confronted with the question. I wasstanding just outside the doorway of a Wal-Mart, offering a “thank you”and a smile to each person who dropped a donationinto my red kettle. A neatly dressed woman and her young son walked up to the kettle stand. While she searched her pursefor some cash, the boy looked up at me.I can still see the confusion and curiosity in his eyes as he asked, “Are you poor?”
“Well,”I stammered, trying to think, “I have more than some people, but not as much as others.”His mother scolded him for thesocial no-no, and they hurried off to do their shopping. His question, however, did not leave me.

Understanding ideas
We Regret to Inform you...
"We regret to inform you... " These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but
words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher es back and the writer eagerly opens
and reads it,their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years
giving up your weekends and free time to write your life 's work, yet still this is often not enough.
Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of
highly successful writers have previously faced rejection.
