Because the reasons for these &quot;Nos&quot; are often out of your control, don&#39;t try to control it. Per former Hollywood Development Executive Dan Watanabe, there is a fear of failure amongst these decision-makers so they don&#39;t want to say &quot;yes&quot; to something they aren&#39;t 100% sure will be a hit. You can&#39;t take it personally, he says. The &quot;No&quot; likely has nothing to do with you; your project just didn&#39;t check all of the boxes of what that person was looking for.<br /> <br />What you can do, he says, is to persevere and keep writing. Be prepared If they ask, &quot;What else have you got&quot;, because that&#39;s your foot in the door.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-24/TheImportanceofPerseveranceintheFaceofRejection.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TheImportanceofPerseveranceintheFaceofRejection.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/dealing-with-rejection/8204/the-importance-of-perseverance-in-the-face-of-rejection/revision/1Fri, 03 Mar 2023 01:49:18 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:0093eb04-627e-473d-9c3b-b338894e2148Dan Watanabehttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/dealing-with-rejection/8204/the-importance-of-perseverance-in-the-face-of-rejection#commentsRevision 1 posted to Dealing with Rejection by Dan Watanabe on 3/3/2023 1:49:18 AM<br /> <p>Former Hollywood Development Executive Dan Watanabe discusses how writers can overcome hearing &quot;No&quot; to their work.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-24/TheImportanceofPerseveranceintheFaceofRejection.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TheImportanceofPerseveranceintheFaceofRejection.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
