Is there a medical diagnosis I can cultivate that will help me cope with getting shut down repeatedly?

Is there a medical diagnosis I can cultivate that will help me cope with getting shut down repeatedly?

You have just described my day: the rejection from the media, the blame we often take even when we secure respectable national press yet sales are low mainly due to shoddy distribution, and the ADHD of being an expert on completely different topics simultaneously! Describing the FOURTH hour of the Today Show as "the inverse opposite to coveted drive time exposure" is classic--yet we still would take coverage for our authors there. My boss, Dan Smith, often says, "Publicists have no souls." We are all shameless with our promotion :) My thirteen year old daughter thinks I have the best job in the world (she is right as nothing beats the thrill when it all works!) but perhaps I need to get her tested for ADHD. :) Keep writing Kim!
