I was going to write about the different flavors of frustration when getting rejections on queries, partials, and full reads. But then, I thought, that's just negative energy and not at all useful. As I always say, onwards and upwards. Rejections are a good reminder that the point of all of this is writing and creating, so that's what I shall do this morning. :D
Word-hoard
hypoyposis: an unusually vivid description
Well, that's positive.
ReplyDeleteI tend to get very cranky, emotional, weepy, enervated, unruly, angry, frustrated, despairing or all of the above, when I get rejections.
Oh, trust me - I hate it. It sucks mightily, but I can't dwell on it anymore. You know?
ReplyDeleteI had a dweeb of a sales boss once that always used to say, "Get through the no's to get to the yes's". It was one of the few golden nuggets I got from the guy. Sales work is rejection every day of the week, but his little expression has been useful to remember during those dark moments.
ReplyDeleteA great reminder. I've said that myself...it's sometimes hard to remember when it first comes in but, yeah.
