In January, I received 15 rejections, 2 acceptances, and one hold from various magazines. I love this blackout poetry idea from @moirariom.bsky.social so I started doing it this year. Not all rejections spark blackout joy, but these did.

Every writer’s inner monologue when a rejection hits:
“Dear Sir… this rejection letter needs work.”

Petty? Maybe.
Accurate? Absolutely.

#rejectionletters

Image of a beautiful lake with a rocky shore in the foreground, and green, pine tree-painted mountains plastering the backdrop. A few sailboats are on the large lake.

Note to self: next year, prepare yourself for the large influx of end-of-May rejection emails that are currently flooding my inbox. 😂

The writing continues! 😊

In my head, I’m back out at Breckenridge in #Colorado. Stunning!

Writers, don't take this stuff personally. Maybe your story does need a bit more revision. Or maybe the form rejection was written by a judgmental crankyass. #WritingCommunity #LitMags #publishing #RejectionLetters

What the hell kind of literary rejection email is this? (From a 'prestigious' publication after 11 months.)

"Sincere apologies for the long delay in responding to your submission. These poems really are a tour de force, but I'm afraid we don't have a place for them"

#writingcommunity #authorsky Time to take a break so I can file all my #rejectionletters!

Email that reads: "Dear Andria, Thank you for giving Frost Zone Stories the oppprtunity to review your submission. While we truly enjoyed reading it, and it passed through more than one round of conideration, unfortunately we won't be able to accept A Pony For Christmas at this time. This is not a reflection on the quality, but the fact that we received far more stories than can be published. We wish you the best in placing this story elsewhere and we hope to see more of your work in future calls. Kind regards, Frost Zone Stories Team"

I can't be upset over a rejection letter like this.

Gives me hope my wintery horror story will eventually find the home it deserves. 😊
