Rejection

Overcoming Rejection and Disappointment as a Writer http://www.business2community.com/content-marketing/overcoming-rejection-disappointment-writer-0603639

What helped me was advice from an older writer: turn rejection into something creative. I began making collages out of rejection slips. I had three before I began publishing with enough regularity to quit. The exercise added humor as well. I would think, Blue would really look good here, and so I'd try to find out who sent blue rejection cards. I still have them. What to do with them? If you aren't famous, libraries aren't interested in the paraphenalia of a writing life.
