When you set up your submission tracker it should include over 50 markets. This is for your short stories) Those 50 markets represent the potential number of rejections before you receive a purchase. In any marketing scheme, one sale in 50 is okay.

Rejection of what you write is nearly automatic. It doesn't matter what you have written, it is almost certain to experience rejection. In broad terms, this means your rejections aren't personal even when they feel extremely personal. They aren't personal.

Lately been getting a lot of #rejections like "We enjoyed your story. Unfortunately we're going to pass." I know it should make me feel better about the rejection, but strangely it never does. Le sigh. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Caught up with a lot of things to catch up with in March, so definitely won't be sending out too many stories, but expecting a whole lot of #rejections, just got my 2nd one for the day, and 4th one for the month.

Thinking of putting together a new #poetry collection called "All the #Poems Not Fit for Print" and it'll be all my unpublished (also known as #rejections) stuff (including the rejections I received this morning).
#BTCUSD is currently consolidating within a #tightening triangle formation after multiple #rejections near the $69,000โ$70,900 (R1) resistance zone. Price action remains compressed between rising trendline

You feel emotional about rejections because you have a personal connection to your stories. If you are really tender, plan in advance to have a disinterested 3rd party running your submissions list who only contacts you on acceptances. YOU keep writing.
#writingcommunity #booksky #rejections
Any story you write may take more than 50 individual submissions to find a public home. That's a painful number of rejections for just one story. If you have 24 stories in your rotation that's 1,200 rejections. Huge numbers. Protect your emotional health here.

Your two main objectives when submitting your work are:
* submit and re-submit your work
* keep writing
Rejections may harm your motivation to write. If they do then you should immediately correct for that by asking for submission help from friends/family.

If you set up a submissions email account separate from your regular account, you can have a second party checking your emails and tracking all of your stories through your submission tracking system. You don't need the blow by blow of the process.
#writingcommunity #booksky #rejections #sales
The practice of taking one day every week (TODAY) to focus on the movement of your stories helps you. You can set up an email account just for your story activities. This means you don't look at that account daily but on one focused day and even time of day.

Five #rejections of #poetry #poems this morning. Feeling dejected.
For the millionth fucking time, I was just told I will never be anything more than a stupid carrot chewing dumb bunny.
Why did I have to pick the worst fucking profession in the entire fucking world where I get to feel worthless every single fucking time I try my fucking best? #booksky #rejections
You may be all tender inside during the short story submission process. You aren't alone. If you get very upset by receiving a rejection note from a market then take immediate steps to move yourself away from direct rejection. Get help.

We battle wrong thoughts one moment at a time. You only need to fight the battle in super tiny moments until next time. It's just one decision. It's cumulative. Overcome by doing. One day you will discover your actions have changed your thinking.

If you establish a policy of not allowing a rejected story to sit more than 24 hours it will push you to send it on to the next market. My market list on shorts is 70 locations long. I tell you this to show you how many times you allow for rejections.
