Getting rejections for your work is part of the process for most writers. Even the best authors got rejections in the beginning.
Jilda and I pitched a song in Nashville many years ago and the guy who turned us down said, "Hey, don't feel bad, I passed on the million seller song "Wind Beneath My Wings."
It didn't help our feelings, but I think had we seen this little sign, it would have made us feel better.

ReplyDeleteHear! Hear!!
ReplyDeleteMs Soup
Thanks for the reminder. =o)
ReplyDeleteThat statement is so true. Rejection can be so crushing if we take it personally. Often we are rejected by someone who has a narrow field of vision and it's his problem.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

I take rejection personally. My writing is me.
