Hey fishr, it's all part of the game. I've had a great share of rejection letters. When one of my stories finally did get published, it was one of the best feelings in the world. But I don't think it would have been the same without all those rejections at first.
You at least have a lot of publishers at your place(s).. In my country, especially in my town, I don't have much to choose between - and if I get any kind of response from some, I can consider it an accomplishment -.- I'm not even going to start mentioning how big the possibility is that my book would be actually read once it gets published.

Only four? Man, you've got some catching up to do. I'm so far ahead of you in this race. My rejections are many! Haha. I talk about the latest one here.

I know, I haven't been nearly as aggressive with submitting my work.
My recent rejection letter was surprisingly very informative and while I got the boot I was givin' encouragement also.
I only have one rejection letter for my novel. For my actual profession though...!

Well I have to say I did smile at, "Write what you know." The piece was Historical Fiction set in Boston, 1770. I'm a Rev. War reenactor, going on six years now. I think it's safe to say I'm just a tad familiar with the Eighteenth Century. xD What ev. LOL
Keep going, it's important to just keep going. Rejections always happen in art, but so do refinements and perseverance and, at the end of it all, unparalleled success.
