noraleah: You’ve heard of girl power. This right here is woman power. Kathryn Stockett’s ‘The Help’ Turned Down 60 Times Before Becoming a Best Seller By rejection number 45, I was truly neurotic. It was all I could think about—revising the book, making it better, getting an agent, getting it published. I insisted on rewriting the last chapter an hour before I was due at the hospital to give birth to my daughter. I would not go to the hospital until I’d typed The End. I was still poring over my research in my hospital room when the nurse looked at me like I wasn’t human and said in a New Jersey accent, “Put the book down, you nut job—you’re crowning.” (via brit, noreaster)
