Do not get discouraged. You have to work hard to accomplish your end goal. Whether that is completing your full manuscript or sending your book to publishers - rejection and writer's block can be disappointing. You have to push through it.
The best advice I can give is this:
"Work for something more than you dream of it."
The world doesn't owe you anything because you wrote a story. If you want it published, you have to prove that the work is worth a second look. Publishers and agents are always looking for a fresh idea or a cool new perspective/twist. Show them what you can do.
