hello there is Peter here again from
writer's life and today how to stay
positive after a rejection being
rejected is not a great feeling any
writer who has suffered a rejection will
attest to this there's nothing quite as
disheartening as pouring all your energy
of passion into something only to be
told it isn't good enough worse than
this is the way writers are often
rejected you don't get any feedback
often in fact rejection comes as a form
of ghosting where you know if you have
been ignored for a long enough amount of
time you've been rejected you don't even
get the decency of someone telling you
they received and read your story after
months even years of work that is going
to sting a little while rejection isn't
something that writers alone experience
it is fairly unique to be rejected it's
such a brutal and frankly kind of rude
manner however we just accept this as
part of the job in any other
circumstances we might say something
perhaps writer rather short email
explaining why it would have been nice
for the editor to at least acknowledge
that we have contacted them but we don't
because it's just the way things are and
that's got to do something not so great
for our self-esteem after a rejection
the writer has to simply go back to the
drawing board with no real information
on what they've done wrong only that
what they have done simply isn't good
enough
what's worse still is that as they go on
to spend even more time changing it it
might not make the slightest bit of
difference
how will the writer know that the next
editor they send their manuscript to
wouldn't have actually much preferred
the original initially it does come down
to one person's
opinion after all however we must accept
that things are unlikely to change
anytime soon this being the case it's
better to focus on how to stay positive
after a rejection rather than dwell on
it
for too long so what are the things you
can do let's take a look first keep
things in perspective a rejection
doesn't have to be devastating and it
certainly doesn't mean that you should
give up on your writing dreams there are
plenty of other opportunities for you to
succeed and the sooner you focus on them
and move on the better next create your
own opportunities it's all too easy to
sit and wait and hope that success will
come to you but in reality you have to
fight for it with all your minds do
everything you can to make yourself
successful be creative and imaginative
in your ideas and don't stop until you
get what you want
next don't take it personally remember a
rejection of your writing is nothing
personal in fact it might be that an
editor enjoyed your piece but it simply
wasn't what they were looking for at the
time it's hard not to want to retreat
and lick your wounds after receiving a
rejection but that's not going to help
anyone
next reflect and learn while there are a
myriad of reasons your work might be
being rejected if it happens time and
time again it's a good idea to take some
time out to reflect and try to figure
out where you might be going wrong your
mind gained some valuable insights into
what you need to do to improve your work
and then have better look next time
around
next rejection is never easy
rejection is never easy to take
especially for writers who are so
invested in what their
trying to achieve however a positive
attitude and the ability to just your
self off and pick yourself back up after
a rejection will mean that you'll keep
persevering and let nothing stand in the
way of attaining your goals
now don't forget if you're struggling to
write or finish your book our free
writers toolkit can help with it you'll
learn how to overcome procrastination
get organized
stay focused find time to write and
finally get your book published to get
access to it now while it's still
