Rejection Letter Blues?
Beyond the Books interviews Graham Parke on the darker aspects of writing:
How do rejection letters make you feel and what do you do to overcome the blows?
[Graham:] Well, by the time you receive a rejection letter, five more queries need to be out the door. And, as each query is obviously more brilliant than the last, carrying with it much more of that unrejectable quality that you’ve been developing, your hopes are set on those. The actual rejections, well, those were just practice queries. If you’re lucky, you get a personalized rejection. These will help you fine-tune new query letters, or even, if necessary, the novel itself.
