Well, I asked for the rejections. And I got them. None of my pieces found a home, and some knock backs hit me harder than others. I didn't have particularly high expectations, but had hoped to somehow sneak onto a long list if at all possible.
It was round about this time last year that I had my first tangible success, and it really lifted my spirits and served as encouragement to go further and do even better. But writing is hard, and there are some amazing writers out there.
But we go again. I have submitted pieces elsewhere, and continue to have ideas, as well as exploring different avenues to further my writing career. We shall see if these have any more joy...
I have read from several sources of the need to relish the rejection slips. I get the idea, but would like a little variety in my diet too, if at all possible.
I find rejections are rather bland. Success is decidedly moreish.
