J.K. Rowling is encouraging people not to give on their dreams by sharing all of her rejection letters while trying to get her first Harry Potter book published.
In a series of tweets posted throughout the morning, the writer revealed that she pinned her first rejection letter to the wall as motivation.
I pinned my 1st rejection letter to my kitchen wall because it gave me something in common with all my fave writers! https://t.co/ZmGNWDdF7x

I wasn't going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen. https://t.co/bMKu4zJ3nm

By popular request, 2 of @RGalbrath's rejection letters! (For inspiration, not revenge, so I've removed signatures.) pic.twitter.com/vVoc0x6r8W

I had nothing to lose and sometimes that makes you brave enough to try. https://t.co/ETEk8lcih1
