If you want to be discovered, you have to be visible. Make people listen. Be confident enough in your work to put it on the market. And when it's rejected, send it elsewhere. Keep writing through it all. #rejectionpoetry #writing #amwriting #writinglife #writemotivation
Looking through these old rejections, I'm surprised by how often the editors encouraged me to submit again. When I read the messages the first time, I didn't register the invitation, only the rejection. #rejectionpoetry #writing #amwriting #writinglife #writemotivation
Send your work far and wide. When you get an acceptance, you'll remember why you went through all of this. #rejectionpoetry #writing #amwriting #writinglife #writemotivation
Most rejections contain an opportunity for the future, too.

Sometimes the editor makes it easy to find inspiration in rejection.

Even when the rejection letter doesn't leave much to work with, there's something.

An important part of being a creative is learning to handle rejection. I like reframe it by making inspirational messages from my rejection letters. #writinglife #AmWriting #WriteMotivation #rejectionpoetry
A poem that reads “good evening, reading your submission was an endeavor. No.”
