Dealing with rejection...

Guess who had another rejection letter last night? It was extremely encouraging, of course =) I find rejection letters very hard to interpret - when they tell you it wasn't what they were looking for, does that mean they hate it? And surely they couldn't care less when they wish you the best of luck?

I found this page which talks about reading rejection letters creatively, and how you can take the comments more than one way. I wondered what experience other people have had with rejection letters, and what were their best and worse?

Congrats!

I haven't worked up the guts to mail anything off yet. The only thing I've had published is a short in the "Young authors' contest" anthology - back when I was in high school.

One of these days. Honest...
