Thanks for a great blog and article. I was picked up by a magazine to be a regular cartoon contributor last year after many previous unsuccesses, so I understand your points about needing to persevere.

Do you know the best way to submit to Reader’s Digest? I can’t find any good advice on who to send to or how.

Thanks for your help.

Gene Browning

While I mostly can shake them off, they do still sting. That however, is no reason not to keep putting myself out there. And now I’ve added new creative areas in which to be rejected. Huzzah! Thanks for this great post.

Rejection always gets me, no matter how logically I try to think about it. Maybe this different approach (looking forward rather than back) will be more effective for me. Thanks for sharing it!

From you, the compliment about my photography means even more. I have always enjoyed your work and its humorous perspective on life! : )

This is an article that I will have to read again and as others have mentioned I need to share it with my artist friends.

I get so many emails from people who feel completely defeated by rejection. Heck, I’ve made being a reject a lifestyle!
