I used to be an actress and have realized that this early "training" in rejection has been invaluable for inevitable same with writing.
I am still trying to work out how some of my stuff has been called "Spartan and pithy" by one editor and "baroque and dull" by another. Occasionally I feel as if I've missed the punchline. Next!
(That Time cover seems really quaint now, doesn't it?)
