Three of my writer friends have been published recently or have had multiple stories accepted. I am thrilled for them.
Someone asked if I was upset because my work was not selected. Absolutely not. Disappointed, sure, but I am happy for my fellow writers.
Rejection is seldom about the writer, and more about the editorial needs of the publications. I have always considered this to be part of the process of freelance writing.
Will I lay low for a while? You mean wallow? Give up? No not at all. I will write, edit, and submit 5-7 pieces per month, as usual.
How do YOU handle rejection?
My dear just offered to buy lunch. Please come back. I will be gathering information and observing characters... fodder for another story or post.
