I went to an author talk at a library recently, and at one point someone asked whether it was difficult finding a publisher, and her reaction was so funny. She was like oh, I have the most annoying publishing story because everyone always talks about getting all these rejection letters, and my novel went straight to auction. It wasn't hard at all.
Like, a little part of her wanted her writer street cred, lol. It must be so awkward to be chatting with other authors and that's your publishing story.
