...A.K.A. 'Rejected'. So I submitted some of my poems yesterday and found out they were 'declined' today. It actually didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I just remembered a quote I heard, along the lines, that the first step to success is failure. As long as I keep that in mind I'll be okay. A lot of great people were rejected by others in their first few years. So I'm gonna stay positive and continue writing poems and submitting them. And the day they are finally accepted I will have a momentary victory dance and go on my way; continuing to write and submit poems, articles and short stories. I'm pretty tempted next year to write a novel out of the short story I'm currently writing for my fictional writing module. That's still on for debate though. So remember guys, as the wise words of Jake the Dog once said, 'Dude, suckin’ at something is the first step to being sorta good at something'. So even if you think you suck at something don't stop doing it, continue on! It's no fun if there's no journey involved.
Peace out readers!
