Am I getting published? No, but just like them, I have received my very first rejection letter! I have it proudly taped to my writing wall, and bought myself a new teacup to commemorate and celebrate moving towards the next part of my writing career!
Why celebrate rejection? Because, I can finally move past the years spent writing and editing, and take the next step of my journey. It isn’t uncommon for hopeful writers to have a shoebox full of rejections, and all I’ve had is an empty one gathering dust on a shelf. Filling that box is a sign of progression. It means my story is finally ready. It means having the courage to let professionals see my work, and it means getting my name out in the exciting world of publishing.
