091: The Celebration of Failure

091: The Celebration of Failure

I had a magical fantasies of what would happen once I was an "author." The reality was quite the opposite and quite painful, with almost endless rejections accompanied by feelings of self-pity and defeat. For example, soon after publication, I learned my book was at the top of my publisher's "loser list." Then I discovered that magazines, newspapers, and TV and radio shows had no interest in it whatsoever.

I hope you enjoy the story. It's all about the celebration of failure and the conversion of failure into success.
