It isn't.<br /><br />Rejection is resistance. <i>Sometimes</i> that means we need to find another way. Sometimes it means we need to strengthen ourselves.<br /><br />I don't submit often either, so I don't have nearly the pile of rejection letters others do. But I have them. Odd how we keep them, isn't it? What are we reminding ourselves of? Personally, I think it's a form of pride. We want to be able to shove those rejections back in the faces of those who gave them to us when we finally get published.<br /><br />We slow up. We back away. But we can never really give up.
