100 rejections.
A hundred “not yet.” A hundred “keep going.”
And fittingly, Rejection Letters sent the 100th one. If I’d known, I would’ve asked for it in the cover letter. Here’s to the journey still going strong. Stop by for cake @rejectionlit.bsky.social!

poets - you know the feeling, right? When your number of submissions equals the number of rejections, you're almost halfway to #100rejections and it's only the 1st quarter of the year? And then - some lovely publication sends you an acceptance for your entire submission. That's the #WritingLife

*sigh* - what keeps you going fellow writers? "discussed it with great interest, and we found much to admire" is a kind personalized rejection. Do you count those as wins? #100rejections #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #SkyPoets #BskyPoets

Writer friends - do you have submissions and rejection goals for the year? Pieces published? Do you have spreadsheets for tracking? I like to break things down to weekly goals for submissions to be accountable. So far - on track for submissions and rejections. #100rejections #WritingCommunity
