By now, it probably comes as no surprise that many, if not most people in North America and the UK eat way too much.

I received an interesting email from a writer who is being victimized by rejection slips. Below, I'll share it with you, along with my response.

I hope it gives you some perspective if you're hoping to get published by a conventional press.

The query letter is your initial meeting with the perspective "boss," and based on its content and appearance, it alone determines whether there's a second meeting.

Do you have an aptitude for writing? Do you love to enter contests? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you may have what it takes to win big.

When it is done well, writing feels good. The written word has a certain quality that other forms of expression simply do not have. I can't put it into a sensible classification or description, but reading a book is infinitely more enjoyable than having it read to me.

But, writing one's own pieces ...
