I need advice on dealing with rejection.

I need advice on dealing with rejection.

Most of my blog posts are about something I have learned along the journey of writing my book. Somethings I have figured out, mastered and now understand. However, this time I’m writing to let you know I need help. I finished my book and won NaNoWriMo for November 2013. Because I won NaNoWriMo I won a chance to submitted my book to the letsgowrimos.com contest from Lulu.com. I have done everything I could to give me the best chance at winning a top ten spot. I submitted my manuscript last night.

Was it enough? I don’t know yet. Truthfully, mathematically the chance of being chosen is slim. It's very rare, almost impossible, for a new author to get the first publishing deal they submit to. I need to prepare myself for rejection. But how?

I spent all this time telling myself I could win. How do I prepare for the chance of not winning? I know I'm full of questions today.

Anyone have any advice? Maybe you have gone though something like this. I need to learn how to pick myself up after a rejection and try again, and again.Stop by my Facebook and let me know.
