I (ahem) used to think (before I was published) that once a writer was published, they didn't have to deal with rejection any more. Not so! I love when writers share stories about rejection of now-published books, and also ways of dealing with rejection. It's encouraging for others.

I, too, find it helpful to knit and bake and make jam in response to icky writing news. Making heals. Now, as I wait for my book to come out in 2013, and as the newest rejections hit my screen, I will reread Eileen's words here.
