Thank you for your blah blah submission. It isn’t a blah blah fit at this blah blah time.
(In case you think some of us have it any other way. Have it any easier. Have another chapter and verse.)
Blah.

Blah.
i can relate. i saved my art rejections over the years. a friend of mine who is a wonderful writer and an amazingly optimistic person received a rejection from the paris review. when i extended my sympathy she smiled and said cheerily, “YES THANK YOU, BUT IT’S THE PARIS REVIEW”!
and now i try to take that attitude towards rejections…because with the gazillions of people living on this earth, how many of them can actually say, “hey i was rejected by the paris review”.
one day i would like to have a group exhibit of all the work that’s been rejected with the rejection letter hanging beside it.
wouldn’t that be fun?

thank-you for sharing this.
it did its trick in breaking down the stories I tell myself and hold as true, when really they are just stories.
and wendy, i LOVE the idea of having rejected work shown next to the rejection letter!
