Facing Down Rejection

because I spent so much time entering my work this year in the form of poetry, short stories, article queries I got a lot more REJECTIONS and although it hurts (this week I got 4), it also means I'm participating in the process and not just sitting on the sidelines. So thanks to my critique group and my writing buddies for putting on the pressure to make my goals. I think next year at the same time I will say I received a lot more ACCEPTANCES! Have a Happy New Year!
