Rewrites and rejections

It's easy to lose sight of the joy of writing and storytelling when you focus too much on submissions, rejections and rewrites.
Ialways have to remind myself that the rejectiojns come from a subjective reader.
I have been in rewrites mode for the past couple of months now and this weekend I shifted my focus back to my third "Reborn by Blood" book, a WIP.
I'm reconnecting with the characters at a more intimate level, a draft level, a painting in the making and this brings me back to the joy of creating.
I would love for my books to be read, but I still take a lot of pleasure and pride in reading my own words.
