But then, what does it take to get published? Must one have a relative who is an editor? Or a body like Madonna's? I read a book on writing in which the author stated that he received 50 rejections before he had his first book published, and that this was an average number. Yet, if each submission took a month, and if there were no simultaneous submissions, it would have taken him over four years before that acceptance came. Am I missing something here? -- Jeff Freedman
