Rejection

Last night at the meeting for one of the writing groups I’m in, one member had a list of how many times famous authors had been rejected. I do keep track of my submissions, but I had never counted up how many times I’ve had stories rejected. So I just did a quick count, and not counting stories entered for contests or stories I assume were lost, I came up with the following numbers. I have had 48 stories rejected 169 times. That’s interesting, but I guess I should get back to writing.
