Purple Prose + rejections

Going Badass!

Rejections. We all hate them. But what’s the best way deal with them?

I love to go all badass when I get one. We have a punching bag in the basement, so I crank the music up, don my boxing gloves, and go crazy (kicks included). No, I don’t imagine I’m beating up the agent who sent me the rejection. Instead, I’m saving the world from evil. I’m like a hot, badass paranormal heroine. (When I say ‘hot’, I mean sweaty).

By the time I’m finished, I’ve forgotten about the rejection and have burned tons of calories. And if I’m really lucky, I might have brainstormed a solution (if the agent gave me specific feedback). But the best part is, I feel awesome!

How do you deal with rejections?
