For over a year I continued to submit mss, and have them rejected - the last few with rejection letters indicated the story was pretty good, but I was American.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I kept sending out stories and getting rejected.
I have heard all kinds of stories about telling employers about MS and I really don't know what the answer is. I am a private person, but I have found support by talking to fellow MSrs in the community.
I like to joke that I probably hold the world record for rejection letters. Yes, the truth is that I was fed up of being rejected repeatedly, and self-publication was an act of defiance at traditional publishing. But life works in strange ways.
I got rejected from journalism school!
I'm wondering if they haven't reported all the people with MS, because if all of the cases were reported, the government would have to step in and give more financial aid to us.
I have been rejected 120 times, probably because I didn't write the right book.
I decided to write short stories because they got rejected quicker.
I took all of my rejection letters - there must have been thousands of them in a huge box - and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying.
I think there are a lot of myths about MS, and it may have affected my career.
By 17, I was submitting to publications and collecting my first rejection slips.
