Rejection Letters Suck

7/17/2018

Last night I got myself a shiny new rejection letter. Even if you self-publish there are ads or promos you apply for and get rejections from. It's the truth of publishing. Somewhere along the line, someone is going to come to you at some point and say...

"We're sorry. You're not for us. Maybe if you wrote something worthwhile instead..."

Okay. So they don't use those words. But even when you get something you know damn well is a form rejection email, the only thing that document says to you is....I'm the worst writer that has ever put fingers to keyboard.

Here's the truth that was said to me by some women I respect more than most anyone else in this biz...

"If you have a story inside you, there is someone out there that needs to read it."

So what if your story has shape-shifting dinosaurs in it! There is someone looking for that exact thing somewhere across the internet, and when your book comes up. It makes their day.

via GIPHY

And at some point, that special reader is going to leave *gasp* a good review! They will look at your books and say, "I like this. It doesn't suck hairy donkey balls!"

via GIPHY

For the future reviews, for the possibility that my books will make someone besides me giggle when they really need a smile, I'm heading back in to wrap up another book. It's the one that's going to get me a "Yes".

via GIPHY

What are you going to conquer today? I'd love to hear about it. Let's go forth and be awesome together. The world needs us to make them smile.
