: There are two possible interpretations:
: 1. My work is too fine to attract general appreciation;
: 2. I am mistaken in my assessment of its merits.
: Sadly the latter is the more plausible hypothesis.
If it hasn't been rejected at least 50 times, don't conclude the answer is #2. Some of my all-time favorite books were rejected dozens of times before publication. A friend of mine has had good success publishing short stories on a website that charges per download; it's something to consider as a last resort.
