So, you have
been rejected. Believe me,
you are
not the only
one. People are
getting rejected all
the time. So you
are not alone.
Alone or
on the Titanic
of writers, pain and
suffering is
individual. And then you don’t
know how to be
angry? Or desperate?
You are
the sad kind.
You
want to cry? Who
is
stopping you?
The moment
the postman hands
your rejection letter : Start with
the sniffling, then cry and
sob
and if possible
bawl to your
lungs capacity. You want to hit your forehead or your chest when crying. So be it. But try to cry
in corners and closets.
Until unless you
are very lucky this
is not the
first time you
are crying and this will
not be the
last. So dragging unnecessary
attention towards your
sorrow, that keeps
coming almost every day like
the garbage truck,
will only make
your writing
life difficult.
There will
always be a few
people who would
love to say, “I
told you so.”
If
not say then
they are thinking, “I knew this
would happen.”
Some will
rightfully declare, “Writing is
not as easy
as you thought,
huh?” And these kind
of remarks will
only cause you more pain. It will be
like getting your toe struck twice with the
hammer!
So try and
keep the
crying,
sobbing , bawling to
a inaudible limit!
The bathroom with the
shower on is
the best way
to do this. The water
will flow away your
sadness faster, no one
can hear you and you
yourself cannot see
the tears what
with the
water streaming all
across your face.
Of course don’t
look in the mirror :
the crying bawling
face looks seriously
distorted!
You
must have sent
your query’s in
bulk? Of course, Yes, don’t
lie to me. The
other rejections will
also come . So, either
you cry for
all
of them at
the same time
or make it
individual crying sessions.
The choice is
yours.
Well,
I used to
cry for each
letter individually. I prefer
giving personal attention!
Whatever you choose
: Let the world
know they have betrayed you! Your heart
is broken. You want
to betray the
world. Return the
favor. But neither you have the
resources nor the training
to hurt
people!
WRITE BACK A SAD SAD
