Rejection is always a tricky thing to move past – but having the right perspective can help us do that.

used to write poetry and submitting it to online journals. (I don’t now because it’s not my creative focus currently.) From the time I sent my first submission to the day I got my first acceptance letter, it was about 5 years before my work was published. Whenever I received a rejection letter, I made myself say, “That’s OK. If this journal isn’t the right home for my work, then another one will be.” If had a more negative perspective on rejection, I probably would have given up much sooner. But I didn’t, and it worked. 🙂
