The Comedy Doctor on rejection

A member asks: I've just received my tenth rejection from the tenth production company I've approached with my pilot. I'm feeling quite down and not sure I can keep sending this script out, even though I still do believe in it. What should I do?
Firstly, thank you for your question. Rejection is, unfortunately, an inevitable aspect of life as a comedy writer - and that applies whether you are completely new or highly experienced. Sometimes, unfortunately, the stars do not align.
