But definitely not impossible. | |

| Jun 22, 2011 at 13:24 | comment | added | Standback | Short answer: it's really really tough. It's doable, with skill and dedication. Expect lots of rejections - until you've got enough ability and experience under your belt to clear the bar. And don't expect the professionals who have spent decades building up craft and career to be impressed because a fledgling unfamiliar with the difficulties of publishing accuses them of "constipated thinking" in big bold letters. | |
