Rejection

Rejection slips happens to most writers, because there are not many writers who can stimulate the mind, push a reader to emotion or excite on the first try. Rejection is a fact for writers as it is in life. Writing ability is not necessarily the cause of a rejection slip. It could have been the timing, similar work had been published or word length. You can handle rejection by using the following tips. 

• Select your next writing goal.
• Dig for the reason you write.
• Quiet the negative thoughts. 

Rejection of writing projects should not stop you from writing, achieving and succeeding. It is part of the writer's life-style. Accept it. Move on with the business of writing. You know the possibility of rejection exists, but never look for it. Deal with a writer's rejection with the below tips.

• Reward yourself for sharing the writing project.
• Waste no time starting the next writing project.
