When I was in high school and my father was encouraging me to write, he said he’d pay me a dollar for every rejection slip I got.

I though that was a clever way to get me to submit ideas and articles without putting too much pressure on me, especially considering how fickle the publishing world is.

A dollar a rejection? Damn. I could've retired years ago :)
