- Go to Rejected Today and Bought Tomorrow!
Wiser words were never written....
I believe my first rejection crushed me so hard I didn't think I'd ever apply pen to paper again. It turns out that I cannot function without that particular outlet, so my rejection pushed me to fight back harder...learn...and constantly grow.
Thank you for your kind words as well. *smiles*

Thanks for the info. Good article...good information. Rejection hits us all hard, but we must never give up. The saddest words of time or pen are these, "It might have been".

Uh!
You are right on the money with this post! I submitted an article to a professional journal last summer, and supposedly the editor is still considering it, but no action! I need to email him again ....

Thanks for the link!
And, yes, there are always bumps along the way but you'll get there as long as you TRUST YOUR STUFF!

Very good advice you gave!
If ever I had the discipline to actually write something worthwhile I know I could use a pep-talk!

Hello again!
Thank's for dropping by to my site today, and for the nice words you had to say. Yes I agree we do get alot of rejections before we ever see any dollar signs. Part of life I guess. Learn with experience and be the best you can be, is what I believe. Do your best, and if it is great for you then it should be for others. I think your writing is wonderful and hope you continue, so we may keep on reading . Have a great weekend.
