November 3rd, 5:00pm – I found an article on how authors handle rejection letters. My way of handling it was not listed. I say consider any positive suggestions that might make the work better, then discard the rest.
Writers don’t want negativity. We want readers to suspend their imaginations. In the meantime, GET TO WORK sending your poem, manuscript, or short fiction to another publisher.
Keep Writing
November is here. I will be working on NaNoWriMo until December. New posts to Fictionista will resume then. For now, I’ll be in the background reading…and writing. See You Then My Friends.
You are so right! Rejections are just the fuel to keep writers going. The downside is that my skin starting to look an awful lot like an alligator. Good luck with NaNo.

Always wanted to try NaNo but I think I would struggle with writing new entries outside my reviews but who knows until one tries. Good luck and hope to see some of your words (maybe as a guest post in December?)

Good luck with NaNo!
I’ve heard your sentiment (take what works and discard the rest) echoed by others, so this article definitely wasn’t a complete list.
Stay golden!
