laughing in the face of rejection

scot free · Jul 31, 2006

I just got rejected. Again. Third rejection from Whiskey Island, and I only submitted to them twice. Guess they just wanted to reaffirm to me that my writing will never ever make it into their pages. But that's okay. This same mag rejected a story that another decided to publish - a story that I considered to be one of my weakest. So take that magazine editor guy. You may be able to destroy my sanity but you will never break my spirit.

FREEEEEEDOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

Sanity is highly overrated. I haven't subscribed to that method in ages

My sympathies and congratulations to you!

Three is a low number, keep submitting and you'll get your break. Perserverance!!! I agree though, sanity is for suckers.

I like your spirit, scot free. Keep on going!

That's the spirit. Writers don't need all their marbles anyway.

Shades of Braveheart man! Seriously, this post cracked me up and then I felt bad that I had laughed. Bummer bout the rejection but dang is that funny
