Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and
today we'll be talking about
if rejection is really all that bad
we're all told that as writers rejection
is one of the toughest parts of the job
there are countless pieces of advice on
how to cope with rejection how to pick
up the pieces and move on but is that
necessary rejection doesn't have to be
something that knocks us down and takes
time to get over in fact it really isn't
all that bad at all and here's why
rejection is inevitable for writers its
death taxes and rejection letters every
writer gets rejected it's just going to
happen so there's no point in hoping
that somehow it won't happen to you that
you'll be one of those lucky writers who
lands a huge publishing deal straight
away you won't the rejection will come
so what is the point of getting upset
about something so utterly inevitable
save your energy and emotion for
something more worthwhile rejection is
valuable
once you have cheerfully accepted the
fact that you will get rejected why not
then turn your attention to how you
might use it to your advantage
sometimes the rejection letters come
with feedback these are as valuable as
gold so go back over your manuscript
your cover and your synopsis and think
about how you can make improvements to
give yourself a better chance of success
next time rejection is never personal
remember when an editor decides to
reject your work they aren't doing it
because they have some long-standing
vendetta against you it's only business
stay professional and don't immediately
see them as your mortal enemy rejection
doesn't always count some rejections
don't mean anything go back and think
about whether really realistically your
book ever stood a chance there sometimes
we all are guilty of sending our work
off to publishers that aren't suitable
these rejections don't count ignore them
and put more effort into your research
next time rejection is subjective so
there may be certain trends or
algorithms editors are using to decide
whether your book will appeal to the
masses
but at the end of the day it's still
going to be down to the personal taste
you also can never be sure of the
circumstances when your book reaches the
top of the pile they may have read two
other promising and similar stories that
day they might be in a particularly bad
mood they may have forgotten to eat
breakfast and be distracted by their
hunger any number of factors can
influence their decision and apart from
writing the best book you can and giving
the best pitch you can give they are
pretty much entirely out of your control
rejection isn't that bad we're often
told that rejection is crushing and
soul-destroying and heartbreaking it's
all pretty dramatic it's all too easy to
be influenced by this
to get sucked in but really what's the
points getting overly upset about
rejection is a waste of our precious
time so have some more respect for
yourself and your work and accept
rejection for what it is an opinion and
that's all we'd all prefer to get a
positive response over a rejection
however if we can be a bit more
practical about it and face the fact
that it's going to happen stead of
having what seems to be the widely
accepted reaction of immediately turning
into a wailing wreck and claiming we'll
never write again we could instead
accept it be a bit thicker skinned and
you may just be able to use it to make
you a better writer if you're having a
hard time writing or finishing your book
