BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.
We need your help more than ever right now to keep going—more on that later—but for now this is the best possible way to help support us 🙏

Absolutely! Accepting rejection as just a normal part of it all is such a crucial step. Acceptance stats only serve to discourage.
100% agree. Ignore acceptance stats!
Remember that a character saying something is not exactly the author saying it.
It’s always bothered me when a character quote is posted like an interview quote. Uh, that was Satan, not Milton.
