How to deal with rejection?


Yes, well, rejections. Yes, what does one say? They aren't rejections so much as repudiations of our existence, aren't they?
A typical rejection might start thusly; "Dear Writer. We thank you for considering our agency."
No. I don't thank someone for their services BEFORE they have serviced me. Do you?
When the plane is crashing, the pilot often says "BRACE, BRACE, BRACE" so when you see the words 'thank you' well early in the transaction, I want you to take a breath and think "BRACE BRACE BRACE!" Because you are going down in flames. The rest of what they say will typically be blather designed to insult you. Don't bother reading it.
