I'm a digital magpie saving little jewels to share with my writing students. Years ago I took a screenshot of this tweet. @katedollarhyde.bsky.social, was this you? I'd love to get a high resolution credited version, if you still have it. I tried using words to make the point; the chart is better!

A year ago today, I lost my cat Blue. She was my soul pet, and I miss her, still.

Announcing the 2024 Rejection Competition Winners! 🥳Congrats to Jake Dennis, with 710 rejections taking top spot. Shout out to Dawn Tasaka Steffler, Caitlin E. Myers, and @kaiaballwrites.bsky.social for winning their respective divisions.

I want to give off this vibe

I mean … as long as you’re still alive to do it, it’s not too late! (🤔 now considering how I might write a story from the beyond …)

Pretzel stays in bed with me all night and soon as I get out of bed she goes back to bed to sleep hard with a lort-I’m-tired energy that I find kind of rude.

#writers #writingcommunity 🗣️it’s time to sign up for the annual Rejection Competition. All writers, all levels welcome. Check it out at reneebibby.com/rejectioncompetition

💥 August Rejection Competition numbers! 💥

For real, @tbq.bsky.social saw this story and said, "we got you, fam!" And not only published it, but championed it. Viva el TBQ!

July was our slowest rejection month, but in good news many of our participating writers are definitely representing in nomination and award season!

Show me a picture in your phone that has your energy—not a selfie.

One of my first posts has to be about the amazing numbers coming out of the 2023 Rejection Competition. Huzzah to BEE LB and Jake Dennis who have held their leads for six months.
