I received a rejection notice from an on-line blog calling for contributions. It's a widely read spiritual blog and I felt that some of my poems and post might be a good fit. The editors there felt otherwise. I haven't sought to publish my work for quite sometime other then through my own efforts with blogging and my books. Rejection is tough and a few years ago it was beyond tough for me - it was devastating. At one point I stopped writing for sometime after a few magazines rejected my poetry. It was personal. Or so it felt and so I believed. Now, strangely, I don't feel so bad - there's still a sting - but I don't feel judged and more so I feel happy to be in the game. And sometimes the game offers you a no - my goal - is to simply keep playing. Thanks for the opportunity guys.
Peace,
Eric
