Rejction letter

well got a rejection letter, from Tin House. Its interesting, how I tried to deal with it, it is very personal, like showing off your kids, and someone telling you, they dont measure up, AHHHHHH,...but I am a big boy , so I should let it roll off my back, and I will, probably will send the same editor, more, but different pieces, you never know....Hope springs eternal, and how badly we need, I need to be accepted, affirmed and encouraged, I do get wonderful reviews on Poets.com, but, getting published, is all another stroy. we have wonderfull snow up here, I am at work, NO REST FOR THE WICKED, AS THEY SAY,....BUT i AM GOING TO STOP FEELING sorry FOR MYSELF AND GET ON THE HOARSE AGAIN,......and again,,,,,,,,AHHHHHHH, and i should mention that business is picking up beautifully, so thanks God, and Kiana, my problem solver

Sorry to hear this. But is that not the norm with these guys anyway?! Maybe the next one will be a go... Besides, there are the adoring fans on poets.com - and here too, with a bit more traffic ;-)

Enjoy the snow and the other blessings ($$$)!

Hey bro,
I have received thousands of rejection letters and been told "Due to re-organization, your position is eliminated" when I had put my whole heart and life into it. If I can handle all these rejections, you can do it too. It hurts but it's part of growing up. I certainly have never given up and never will. Sometimes, I wonder, perhaps the best is to stay home and take care of my girls but it's just not me. I love being out there and making a difference and see the immediate outcome. Perhaps it's nonsense but somehow it makes sense to me.

next time before you send "a poem" for publishing, let us know so which one , so we can review it first!
