solace_aderynIt’s been a Rejection Collection day, where I’ve broken a grand total of 26 hearts.
Well, that’s a touch dramatic. In reality it’s been ok in terms of sending them off, but it still stings a little bit; my inner writer is anticipating that not everyone will accept the news, no matter how nicely it was worded. Past the Submission(s) of the Days, there are many more I haven’t mentioned where the time and effort – and sometimes, there’s been a lot – have shone through. What becomes hard is when despite that they’re just not right for us. Often not good enough.
Every page you send, every email where you beg to be reconsidered, and every one of you who thanks me for considering... I read them all. I promise you.
Had a hitting home moment again, as I sent the last “no” away: I was handed my business cards. They’re blue and white, and they don’t have my father’s surname, only my dad’s.
Feeling like a professional. Adult. Very strange.
