My first rejection letter...

[shoebox_dw]

So I finally heard back from PopMatters re: the column proposal - after a gentle nudge sent earlier this week. My idea is too unfocussed for their needs, they said. And that's all they said, leading me to believe there's a whole lot more they could've said.

Well...hey, it's an essential experience on every aspiring writer's resume, right? Right. Besides, I'd rather concentrate on fiction just now anyway.



...Sigh.

Congratulations on your first rejection letter. Seriously. It means you're working and putting yourself out there. Congrats!

Why...thank you! I hadn't thought of it that way.

Well said! And you should see some of my rejection letters, right up until the point where I actually got published (and some afterward)! Don't give up!

Awww, thanks. Just hearing from you both makes me feel so much better. :)
