Great post on what for some people is a soul-destroying topic.

Ever notice how those who avoid things like rejection and embarrassment end up living small lives.

Itâ€™s okay to wallow for a little bit if you have to or walk away from the situation to cool down. After youâ€™ve distanced yourself from the issue, it doesnâ€™t seem so bad when you come back for a second look.

But not taken as a a personal attack if the reactions are different from what you intended. In added words, sometimes you donâ€™t apprehend what you accept accounting back you arenâ€™t able to be in added peopleâ€™s minds to perceptive how it comes beyond for them. We should learn to be open and accepting of criticisms rather than put up a wall from the fear of rejection.

I agree with every word. And asking for specifics is a good idea. I used to save all my rejections. I have a 3-ring binder full and I show them to students when I do shool visits or workshops so they can see that all writers have to learn to accept critisism to grow into “real writers.”

Thanks for all the support. Yeah, I guess I didn’t completely convey what I was thinking. It’s true that the reader isn’t always right. I was thinking more along the lines that if you have someone you know and trust read it. The reactions they have to what you have written should always be considered, but not taken as a a personal attack if the reactions are different from what you intended. In other words, sometimes you don’t realize what you have written since you aren’t able to be in other people’s minds to know how it comes across for them. We should learn to be open and accepting of criticisms rather than put up a wall from the fear of rejection. There’s usually some truth to what people say about our work, and not letting our personal fears interfere is a big step towards improvement.
