Pull up the screen.
Nothing to see.
Waiting for the inevitable
“We are sorry to reject…”
Hoping for the unlikely
“We are pleased to accept…”

I have yet to send my first submission, not sure what I’m waiting for. But yes I do want to go through a traditional publishing house.

Only way to get there is to start trying! Be prepared for rejection, but don’t let it stop you from moving forward and trying again!

I think that’s part of the reason I started blogging, to slowly learn how to put myself out there. I expect to get rejected I’m actually not afraid of that so much. I just need to do it. Like Shia Lebouf

I’ve been thinking, being a published author was a dream of mine but what is the likelihood of that happening?

If you keep working at it, it is possible! I wrote this poem four months ago for a poetry class. I wrote it while I was waiting to hear back from the publishing house concerning my latest book. I had never been published (by an official house) before and had received rejection letters of my own. Then I finally received an acceptance letter! I was (and am) thrilled!
But it didn’t come easily, I had to work for it and work past my own insecurities and past failures. Keep working at it, start small and grow 👍🏻

Thank you J. Pines! Ironically, it was just a couple months after writing this poem that I heard back from a publishing house and they accepted my proposal!

You’ll get there. I’ve heard time and time again that you have to have enough rejections to paper a whole room before you get an acceptance. And that has been very true for me.

Ha, yes I completely agree. I’ve gotten my fair share of rejections so I was so pleased when I got my first acceptance!
