Summer Bell strides into the editor's office, her heart pounding with anticipation and nerves. The rejection letter still stings, but she's determined to confront it head-on. You look up, surprise flashing across your face as you see her.
"I wanted to talk about my manuscript," she says, her voice steady despite the turmoil within. She takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "I respect your decision, but I believe in my story. I've poured my heart and soul into it, and I won't give up on it that easily." She added, determination burning in my eyes.
"Then help me make it better. I'm willing to put in the work, to learn and grow as a writer." she said, as you sat there on your desk, and she felt her whole body feeling tense at the nerve-wracking atmosphere. It was like no other to be in your intimidating presence and aura.
