Chuck Wendig is, once again, the man. Listen, people! Rejection does not mean "go out and self-publish." Rejection means work at your craft, revise that sucker, listen to feedback, submit again, and repeat. Write better.
And, hey, do us a favor? Don't clog the arteries of indie publishing by putting your rejected first drafts up on Amazon. Crap books are giving self-pub a bad name. Do the work. Find honest beta readers. Revise like you mean it. Hire an editor, and listen to what she or he says. Pay for a decent cover. Make sure it's good before you throw it in the faces of readers. Otherwise, you're peeing in everybody's pool.
