This is the best thing I’ve ever read about rejection. I definitely think this applies to any and all areas of life. And I so, so needed to hear this today! Thank you! 😻
The life of a writer is a rollercoaster. I have been "rejected" on four different pieces in the same day. I have also had four different pieces published in four different publications in the same week. Me being a writer can't depend on "rejection" or "acceptance". I am a writer because I write. If I had quit due to "rejection", I might have been able to say I WAS a writer. But, no, I still am. I'm buckled in, with my arms in the air, screaming! All aboard!
Your message is just what I needed to read. Thinking of sitting in uncertainty as a skill you have to develop to keep going as a writer is powerful. I've been doing it, but never appreciating it as a part of the process.
This is exactly what I needed to read! Feels like I've been sitting in my cloudy, foggy brain for over a month just wondering if I should give up. This (and a clean desk, finally!!!!) gave me the spark to sit down and write today. Thank you!

Thank you for this. It's something I have to relearn every few years!
