One of the hardest parts about writing is the inevitable experience of rejection. Nothing prepares you for the serial rejection emails, the silences in between and the not knowing whether your work is truly rejected. The level of resilience required to try again and remain creative is enormous. How much time should you wait? I think a more important question is 'How much energy should you challenge into the not knowing at all? While you are hyper focussed on the outcome you are in fact blocking a positive outcome and your own creativity. Why? Your focus is not on being creative in the moment, it is trying to predict an outcome in the future. So because you are not content in the here and now, you are operating from a place of lack. This attracts more lack in the form of more rejection letters. Rejection is not failure it is an opportunity to look to a new direction.
