</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Never give up!!!</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> My first book contract was with Doubleday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Four science fiction books, any subject I
wanted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wrote and published the first
three (<i>Killerbowl, A Generation Removed, The Resurrectionist</i>.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the fourth, I wanted to write something
completely different. Something that incorporated my boyhood loves, cartoons,
comic books, and noir mysteries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
two years of research and writing, I produced <i>Who Censored Roger Rabbit?</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I sent W<i>ho Censored Roger Rabbit? </i>to Doubleday as the final
book in my four book deal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To my great
surprise, they rejected my work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
marked the first time in my writing career that I have ever gotten a reject.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I asked my editor why she had rejected what I thought was my
best book ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said personally, she
loved the work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the book was so
unlike anything I had written before, unlike anything anybody had ever written
before, that she felt compelled to send it<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>to The Marketing Department.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
were the ones who rejected it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I called the head of The Marketing Department.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked him why he had rejected my work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said that unfortunately there was no
category for it on the bookstore shelves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It wasn’t a traditional mystery, not really a general novel, not a
children’s book, not true science fiction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He said they couldn’t sell my book.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I asked him what he would do if somebody today gave him
<i>Alice In Wonderland</i>, or <i>Gulliver’s Travels</i>, or <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He thought for a moment and said, “I couldn’t
sell those either.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I was heartbroken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
told my agent that if I couldn’t sell this book, I didn’t want to be a writer
anymore, because this was the kind of story I wanted to write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He told me not to worry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That we would find the book a home.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> He started sending the book to other publishers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes to multiple editors at the
same<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>publisher.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along the way, W<i>ho Censored Roger Rabbit?</i> got
rejected 110 times!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Always for the
same reason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was no category for
this on bookstore shelves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although a
few publishers came up with another reason to turn me down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They thought nobody would understand a story
about a private eye and a talking rabbit.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> In those days, rejects came by mail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My wife took to calling my daily trip to the
mailbox the Daily Disappointments because I would always come back with 1, 2,
3, once even 6 reject letters.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> On the 111<sup>th</sup> submission, the book crossed the
desk of an editor at St. Martins who had just published a major best seller for
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was given a vanity
project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She could publish any book of
her choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She chose <i>Who Censored Roger
Rabbit?</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><i> </i> </span>Although, when she showed the
book to the President of the Company, he reneged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said he knew he had promised she could
publish any book, but she couldn’t publish this one because he couldn’t sell
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She stepped up to the plate and said,
“Publish this book or I quit.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> They published the book, although in very small
quantities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Less than 5,000 copies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The book was incredibly well reviewed and swiftly sold out.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A few months later, I got a call from Disney asking if I’d
be interested in having them turn my book into a movie.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The rest is history.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>Who Censored Roger Rabbit</i> went through 16 printings in
paperback.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There has been a book club
edition, a limited collectors’ edition, an audio book, and finally a reprint.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> When I wrote the sequel novel <i>Who P-p-p-plugged Roger
Rabbit?</i>, 16 publishers bid for the rights to publish it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of them had rejected the first book once,
6 of them had rejected the first book twice, 2 of them rejected the first book
three times.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The lesson here?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you believe in what you’re doing, never give up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sooner or later, you will succeed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> If you want to read the book that so many publishers
believed they could never sell, or that readers wouldn’t understand, go
here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Read the book and see for yourself

And how she fell for Roger? And where the heck did Toontown come from anyway? It's all here in XERIOUS BUSINESS, a wildly inventive, clever, laugh-out-loud, action-filled page-turner that will keep you up all night. The engaging story is about how mousey Jessica Krupnik became secret agent Jessica, who later, when paired with her partner Robbe, battles to keep criminal mastermind The Klown and his minions from poisoning everyone and taking over the world. This is one of Gary K. Wolf's best books, and it will be a delight to both new readers and hardcore fans alike.

I saw Jessica only in my imagination. I had never seen her for real, never drawn her. Because that's a skill I don't have. Luckily, Oscar-winning animator Richard Williams had that skill in abundance. He sat down with me and together we drew the Jessica which had previously existed only in my mind. Dick exaggerated her proportions - the teeny tiny waist, large chest, larger bottom - so that other animators would know that she hadn't been rotoscoped. That's a perfectly acceptable animation technique in which animators film a live action person and then draw over the photo. That could not happen here. There's no real person with Jessica's impossible proportions. Nobody we could possibly have filmed in live action and traced over. Dick did a magnificent job bringing my wishful thought to life. Jessica, as I saw her and as Dick drew her, is now regarded as one of the premiere sex symbols of all time.<br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">https://blog.garywolf.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss</div>Gary K.

Welcome to my new blog, Rabbit Tales!!! Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to be talking about a lot of Roger and Jessica Rabbit stuff. </p><p>As you all know, I created the character of Jessica Rabbit, widely regarded as one of the foremost sex symbols of all time. I based her on some real women that I fantasized about in my youth: Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, and Veronica Lake, the woman with the peek-a-boo hair style. Those were my real-world inspirations. My fantasy inspiration was Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood. If you don't know who or what Red Hot is, check out one of her cartoons on You Tube. You'll see Jessica's Grandmother strutting her stuff.</p><p>Tomorrow, we'll talk about how Jessica came to look like she does.</p><p>In the meantime, if you want to read Jessica's origins story, and find out where Toons come from, check out my novel, <i>Jessica Rabbit: XERIOUS Business</i>, on Amazon.com.</p><p>https://www.amazon.com/Jessica-Rabbit-XERIOUS-Business-Roger-ebook/dp/B09ZHXZRLG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2G0W6H7JQMFLT&keywords=XERIOUS+Business&qid=1651830976&sprefix=xerious+business%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-1</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">https://blog.garywolf.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss</div>Gary K.
