Hi!
Lately (and all the time, really) I see lots of tweets from writers about applications or pitches getting rejected.
While I wish we could all get acceptances more often, I’ll admit this: It’s nice to know we’re not alone in getting rejected, you know? Rejection and “failure” can feel so isolating, but they’re not.
So, here are some meaningful tweets on the subject in case you’re feeling down:
Besides the fact you’re far from alone, I think this is another great reminder:
And peep this silver lining I experienced (twice!):
Rejection happens to all of us, no matter how successful or talented we are, and no matter how many bylines we have. And sometimes, there’s no silver lining—the situation just sucks! But remember this: You’ll have success in time. Don’t quit <3
One more thing: You can help give therapy to people affected by the Ukraine-Russia War by donating here!
Now onto the writing jobs and pitch calls :)
