Rejection

[lizvogel]

Had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. I am nobly resisting the urge to spend the day eating ice cream and snubbing my nose at the universe in a fit of uselessness. ;-) Instead, I shall find another place to send that story, and another story to send to that place.

Though there may also be ice cream. ;-)

Back when I was submitting, I gave myself permission to spend the day consoling myself when a rejection arrived.

Once I had given myself permission to do so if I wanted to, I discovered that I didn't actually want to. It got boring. I could maybe manage to sulk for an hour or so, but after that I would go back to whatever it was I had been doing before the mail arrived.

It works similarly for me. Actually I can usually let rejections roll off without much angst. This one stings more than usual because Reasons, but, well, now that's done with, at least.
