A Downside of Being a Writer.

Rejection, rejection and rejection. We're all used to getting rejected. Some writers even collect their rejection slips in a folder or en display them on a wall. It can be disheartening when so many of them are just standard slips. ehe worst examples of rejection I had was form a publisher who had already accepted lots of wok from me. when I was n I was writing g educational material. It wasn't actually a rejection but an expression of doubt about the potential popularity of the resource. So I offered it to another educational publisher and .it became one of their best sellers This just goes to show that you shouldn't worry about rejection. The best rejection I e got was two sides of A4 typed description with more notes scribbled on by hand. This was mainly because another similar resource hadn't sold well. And once the book's out then comet he reviews: anything less than a five star review can also feel like rejection. Then there is self-rejection. Often we cringe when we reread something we wrote several years agor Rejection by yourself can be one of h harshest forms of rejection and leads to imposter syndrome. How dare I call myself a writer when I produce this sort of nonsense?
