In case you need a little bolstering of the spirit today, here's some stuff to read:
- Moira Allen on "Coping with Rejection" at writing-world.com
- Laurie Pawlik-Klenlen (say that name 5 times fast) on "5 Steps to Building Resiliency: Facing Rejection & Bouncing Back After You've Failed" at Suite101.com
- Coping. org (tagline: We remember.) offers a how-to-overcome piece called "Handling Fear of Rejection" (Translation available in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish)
- Topdatingtips.com offers up "Tips for Dealing with Rejection," which applies to literary rejection if you squint your eyes a little while reading
- Wikipedia offers this on the Rejection Letter. I would add LROD as an external link if I had even the first clue about how wikipedia actually works, but I do not. Alas, as they say.

I am a rejection free zone - but only because I haven't even finished the first draft yet and haven't submitted anything. I shall enjoy reading some of these posts in preparation for the inevitable...
Alas, I'm a Wiki-geek, so I added the link.
Wiki-Geek: You are very kind and very geeky. Who the hell else can figure that site out. Thanks!
Thanks for the links, W,R! I'm rough-drafting right now, but I'll be back on the query-go-round one of these days, and I need to psych myself up.
Thanks alot. I am drafting as we speak.

As they say, fail forward. The more times you get rejected, the closer you move towards acceptance. As long as your learning from your mistakes
your site is loading slowly.
