Everything you love will reject you or die. This was me paraphrasing the author Chuck Palahniuk. No truer words have been said by an author of such questionable fame.
Rejection is impossible to avoid. No matter what you do(or don't do in some cases) rejection will come. That makes the question not when will rejection come, but what will you do now.
What now?
This is a question everyone has asked themselves at least once. This question is even more common among writer. We have that special book we have been planning forever. You finally get off your butt.(some writers ,especially me, are lazy) and start to write it. Day in and day out you pour our heart and soul into it. You hand it to your best friend and ask him to read it. He loves it. Then you send it off to a publisher. You wait and wait. Then the editor sends you a rejection email that says you suck.
What now?
Rejection just hit you in the face. What do you do?
There is only one thing you can do. You take the rejection as a challenge. Then you get better. Rejection is a challenge. That is all. Remember that. Next time bring out something even better. Let all of your rejections push you higher it. Remember a rejection is merely a challenge. John Kennebrew signing off.
