I would say hang in there but if you really have got next to nothing back maybe you should give it up for awhile and see if any eventually come back and that might get you excited and want to try again. I personally disagree with the statement that most come back because realistically most dont eventually come back and it takes patience,time and money to keep writing. I feel i have done really well in this hobby but i realistically get back 50% or less of what i send out.Sure they could still come back eventually but i find on average if you dont hear back within 6 months you most likely never will,not that it doesnt happen but im going on odds.People who say they have a 80 or 90% return rate are either sending to very easy to get people or they send out very few requests or are lying.

I tend to write to older actors/actresses or character actors, not BIG stars (frankly, not that interested in them). That may be a reason for my success rate.
2014 Successes:
Tom Baker, Patrick Stewart (vv), Peter Cullen, Robin Atkin Downes, Jenna-Louise Coleman, Trace Beaulieu, George Lowe, Joe Dante, Willem Dafoe, Jeffrey Brown, Maurice LaMarche, Alan Oppenheimer, Penn & Teller (last success 10/14/14)

Well sometimes they have a contacts section on celebrity websites or you could e-mail their agents, I guess.

This thread has gone on too long. If you are going to leave the hobby, then do it. I think something like video games are better suited for your need for instant gratification, and lack of patience. Run along.
