Today marks the 100th magazine rejection 
Rejection is just part of the job and I’m trying to break into a new market and away from the technical hobgoblins and SEO copywriting which though simple and easy is boring and not so lucrative.
Like anything else, the more you ask the more people are going to say “No!” but eventually I will get to that special someone who says, “Yup! – 50 cents a word, i need 1,500 on Tokyo nightlife by next Friday – got that? Good!”
Who’d have thunk it – editors as nice people?
Now I am dreaming in LaLa Land – those red pens are red for a reason – all that burning of poor scribes at the stake is what that represents and I ain’t fooled.
Undeterred it’s back to submissions and I have another rejection even as I write; I sense a conspiracy or I’m just not doing this right so rather than banging cerebellum against brick wall I think I’ll regroup and take another look at what they’re asking for and what I’m doing wrong.
All I can say is thank God the maintenance guy came and fixed the AC today now get back to work!
