I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn't. I have drawers full of - or I did have - drawers full of rejection slips. ↗

I used to save all my rejection slips because I told myself, one day I'm going to autograph these and auction them. And then I lost the box. ↗
