Four Rejections in One Day
The last working day before Christmas and I have received four rejections. Two from womags and two for my novel (one following a full ms request).
Time for alcohol and chocolate I think.
Comments
That deserves a lot of alcohol and chocolate.
Chin up, casey. Have a good Christmas and in the New Year get them sent out again. Good luck!
so enjoy the alcohol and chocolate, be kind to yourself and get back to it when you feel reignition...published writers are the ones who don't take no for an answer
I think the novel comes under the heading, Nearly But Not Quite, which is a heck of a lot better than Don't Darken My Portals Again With Your Inane Scribblings, isn't it?
Walk away, have a noggin or two, and a mince pie, and come back loaded for bear - you can do it!
Have a good Christmas everyone.
*Wonders what kind of post bertiebear receives.*
Not telling!
Tenacity is the key.
Enjoy Chrimbo, dust yer-self down 'n' crack on!
Best,

To Toothlight: that deserves a well done!
I hope Boxing Day is a lot better for you: new inspirations and an appetite for spewing out more characters and plots.
I'm also a collector of 'returns' but who among us - who actually sends work out - isn't?
The fact that you've written all that work to send out at all is more than some people ever do, some folk just talk about it - so chin up, kick on and never give up
Casey, it's not a great way to see in Christmas with all those rejections, but you have got valuable comments which allow you to work on the novel and improve it for the next send-out.
