[GOPisEvil]

2. The flugelhorn IS brilliant!

[Haole Girl]

4. Wickedly comical

[Xipe Totec]

5. There's only one person who's opinion of my work I value...

Me.

Please stand back; do not crowd my ego.

[Chorophyll]

28. As it should be.

Get down with your bad self.

[Rhythm]

6. I'm saving that for Lyric... i'll have to keep albuterol on hand though

She'll laugh so hard she won't be able to breathe.

[RetroLounge]

7. Oh, I bet she'll love it!

RL

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. LOL! I love him. Black's Books was a most hilariously sarcastic show.

[RetroLounge]

10. I love that show!

9. Congratulations!!!

I'm so proud of you.

[RetroLounge]

11. For being rejected?

RL

[reyd reid reed]

13. Hey...it takes a lot

to even send the stuff out there in the cold, cruel world. I agree with LG.

Congratulations!!

[lizziegrace]

15. Sure

you're putting your work out there.

(I'm teasing you RL cause a rejection letter is a badge of honor, right?)

[RetroLounge]

16. I figured you were...

RL

[reyd reid reed]

12. And in the face of that....

Sanjaya (or however the hell you spell it) has a book deal. And I think I heard that that Spears woman has one too.




Not that I'm paying any attention, mind you.

[ThomCat]

14. Congratulations!

Getting rejected means you're submitting stuff! And collecting rejections means you're submitting lots of stuff.

You'll start getting acceptance letters soon.

[RetroLounge]

17. Thanks

RL

[graywarrior]

18. Hang them on a nail on your bedroom wall like Stephen King did

He is extremely proud of his rejection letters.

[RetroLounge]

19. I have them hung on my office wall...

I save every one...



RL

[XemaSab]

20. I think I went out with that guy

[Missy Vixen]

21. Rejection letters mean you're that much closer to getting published

Publishing your work is some talent, lots of persistence, and even more good luck.

You can DO this!
Julie

p.s. I got a rejection letter this week myself... I'll keep going till I meet my goal!

[Guava Jelly]

22. Sorry dude

keep your chin up and keep sending it out there.
You know not everyone can write poetry as good as me.

[RetroLounge]

34. Wanna be my mentor?

RL

[Guava Jelly]

36. Do you ever want to get published?

If so..It's better to let someone else take the job.

[RetroLounge]

38. Well, if I ever do a book tour

I'll need a bus driver...

RL

[Guava Jelly]

39. I'd trust me even less driving your bus.

[Chorophyll]

23. Brill-YANT!

I got a rejection letter on Thursday, so I'm two days better than you, I think.

Thanks for the catharsis!

[RetroLounge]

24. Hee...

And the packet of poems goes ouit today again to two more mags.

Every rejection spawns two more submissions...



RL

[Chorophyll]

27. Good for you!

Before you know it, you'll be too busy with readings and book-signings to bother with the daily poem thread. And I'll be able to say, "I knew him when..."

[Lyric]

25. So--you about ready to start our own literary magazine?

We'll show THEM, now won't we?

[Chorophyll]

29. ...

You know, before I became a highly successful writer (grumble) I was a graphic designer...

Just a thought.

[RetroLounge]

30. Well, I was Poetry Editor on the Cream City Review

So I have some experience there...



RL

[Lyric]

32. I seriously would love to start a lit. magazine.

It would probably cost a fortune, which I don't have but man...what a payoff.

[RetroLounge]

33. Yeah, I got friends who do this now.

It's a tough game to stay afloat, but I love it anyhow.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. more wallpaper?

[RetroLounge]

31. Yup.

RL

[old mark]

All the best,

mark

[RetroLounge]

37. Thanks
