The app for independent voices

Focus on the acceptance more than the rejection. Rejections crash writers more than they should for whatever reason but if you believe in your story and your writing, you’ll do well. Success is subjective and is defined on your terms, not anyone else’s. Rejections steer us to the readers that will absolutely adore and fall in love with our stories. We just have to find them and that takes time. Within that time, keep writing. Keep writing the next story….

Writers need a reasonable amount of self-belief. I’ve been both accepted and rejected in the past week! How does one gain resilience to be okay with the rejections? There seems to be some wisdom in Archbishop Tutu’s approach.
