In an article I saw in Writer's Digest a few years ago, it told in a very short story how Robert Persig, the author of Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, a book that went to become a smashing best-seller, sent it to 92 publishers before it found a home.
I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't heard him say it myself ( on NPR, not to me ). You and I should be so unsuccessful.
Keep on sending that manuscript out. Have a plan to send it to someone else when/if it comes back. Make a list and work your way through it. Don't let a returned manuscript sit on your desk for more than 24 hours.
Don't give up. There's a publisher for every book that has a writer's skill and love in it.

Stories like this is the kind of stuff you have to have ingrained in your head if you are going to achieve any kind of success in this business.
