It gave me cause to chuckle... ;) I apparently took your advice and wrote an article about it as well. Although not at all humorous, I did offer some answers I found that worked for me.

I want to respond with a whole blog on rejection and negativity, but my laptop is in a coma (gah!) and it's freeeezing here in the library. So, later. Promise. For now...Rejection always sucks. Always--before you're pubbed or even after (yes, it happens). But it happens to everyone :( Instead of thinking of the negative stuff, think about why you want to write and all the good feedback you've gotten. I will be back with more on this. In the meantime, best of luck!!! Maya Hi Lisa, Hi Jennifer!

My problem is I get too caught up with focusing on negativity. I've got the story written. Now I need to revise and all I keep thinking about are all those rejections (past, present, and to come). How do you overcome rejections and not let them get you so down you can't write? Because that's where I am now ... hence the reason you haven't seen anything new from me. :( Definitely true.
