I don't even get rejections because I don't put my stuff out there, so, high-five to you and those letters!Caitlin Coppolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186146046485674541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135357215614759422.post-15133476188523706332019-07-05T10:14:10.533-04:002019-07-05T10:14:10.533-04:00I so enjoy your humor, C.D.

I've faced some painful rejections in my professional and personal life lately, and it's welcome to read about you inching toward a coveted number of writing rejections.

I write about really twisted, baaaad people getting theirs in the end. What does that say about me? I'm freaking amazing at making stuff up!

I'd say stick with the short stuff. :) I hope you get more acceptances here soon!

It doesn't mean that I stopped reading them but I did stop putting so much importance into them. It can be downright depressing when you don't. <br />All the best and I hope you get an acceptance soon. <br />Shalom aleichem,<br />Pat G @ <a href="http://Pat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135357215614759422.post-10036687910052564012019-07-03T07:29:22.507-04:002019-07-03T07:29:22.507-04:00So sorry about the rejections.

I needed to concentrate on making the novel the best it can be, so, shorts will have to take a back seat for awhile. I wonder why you chose 100 as your target goal?
