Rejection of every kind is part of life. It’s particularly difficult when you’ve poured your heart and soul into a manuscript and you receive a pass. It’s the reason writers throw in the towel. It’s simply too hard to handle and who needs it. Well for those of us who do need it, we stay the course. For me I couldn’t bear to abandon my characters and not put every fiber of my being into making sure children meet them some day. These characters would be so disappointed in me. I have to stay strong for their sake.
"I have to stay strong for their sake." Love this. While I was reading your comment, I started thinking about how we aren't taught to handle rejection, nor the many ways we can frame it. Learning from the process is such a big part of my writing story and this phrase popped into my mind: "I'm writing myself stronger."
it’s a very interesting topic and experience to read about Rejection . This happen almost to some individuals who is only choosing friend in the same level, I know it’s a part . of our daily life . Thanks for your writing. I enjoy reading it.
Isn't it wonderful that there's room enough for all sorts of books, people, dogs..my hope is that we all connect with someone, some thing, some...dog, somewhere.

Oooh, I really like that. It's certainly been the case with me--I notice I can do all sorts of things because of what writing has taught me.
Interesting--I like that you think about it through the lens of your characters. That's a good way to look at it!

Callouses for the psyche.
