Well, as you can tell, I got back my first rejection letter. The first of a possible five. It hurts like hell. Hell, I say. I don't want it to be a reflection of my talent, because know that it is not. However, you can't help be feel a little hurt by any type of rejection. And I've been receiving these type of form letters, rejections, since I was seventeen. Yes, it was at the age of seventeen that I started trying to do something with my artistic talent that would be fun and hopefully profitable.
Now here I am, about to be 43 years old and still receiving rejection letters. It's almost enough to break your spirits. Seriously. And although my spirits have yet to be broken, it does absolutely nothing for my confidence.
What I have never understood is why is it that my paintings and such are so popular and my comics are not. It just backwards that the talent that I have no interest in exploiting is excepted and the talent that I wish to exploit no one seems to be interested in.
Still, it's just one rejection letter. I guess I shouldn't let it weigh so heavily on me, but it does.
Hell, these places gets hundreds of submissions a week. I don't understand how they could have even reviewed mine. It makes you wonder if they just attached a rejection letter and put it into the SASE I provided.
BASTARDS!
