back and forth

I have been a little busy as of late.  I just sent out my manuscript to a few publishers and just got rejected by one.  I realize it happens and I will continue to receive more.  I had toyed with the idea if traditional publishing was the way to go the first time around but now I am not so sure. I also began writing Newsletters at the beginning but decide it just does not work for me.  Should I go back to writing them?  As I wait to hear from a publisher, I am continuing to write the second book in my series; that way I can keep the ideas fresh in my mind.  I also work on other writing projects to to keep myself motivated and not to quit.  I try to stay positive and just hope that one day soon I can achieve my dream of becoming a successful published author.  I tend to forget about my website sometimes; seeing as I don' get much traffic.  Maybe I should try something different?
