• Sun, 10:07: Five rejections in less than 24 hours. Eight this week. Who'd be a writer?
• Sun, 11:22: I have flipped a rejected story. Because the only failure is the failure to get back up again, dammit.

“The secret of being a writer:  Not to expect others to value
what you've done as you value it.  Not to expect anyone else
to perceive in it the emotions you have invested in it.  Once
this is understood, all will be well.  Not indifference, not
apathy—  but self-containment is the result.”

Joyce Carol Oates, from a journal entry (via
