Two days in and four rejections logged already 😅 #submitelsewhere #rejectionletters #writinglife

First rejection of the new year arrived in the form of a 3am form letter. Suprisingly inspirational, considering. #submitelsewhere #blackoutpoetry #blackoutrejection #rejectiongoals #writerlife

Number 4 today #submitelsewhere

Good morning, says the universe, how about a triple stack of rejection smothered with sweet, sugary despair? I’d rather have pancakes… #submitelsewhere #blackoutpoetry #blackoutrejection #rejection

Is this a rejection or a threat? 🤔 #whynotboth #blackoutrejection #reject #submitelsewhere #rejectionpoetry

Refreshing honestly. I’ll mark it on my calendar. #submitelsewhere #blackoutrejection #rejectionpoetry #rejection

Fourth one today is surprisingly insightful #submitelsewhere #blackoutrejection #blackoutpoem

Hmm… now what to send next? #submitelsewhere #rejection #blackoutrejection #rejectionpoet #rejectionpoetry #blackoutpoem

The real message: ‘Twas the morning before the night before Christmas and hopes this would douse. Not a creature would read this, not even a mouse… #submitelsewhere #rejection #blackoutrejection #rejectionpoetry

Double dose of rejection this morning #submitelsewhere #rejection #blackoutpoetry

It’s ain’t much, but it’s honest work. #submitelsewhere #blackoutrejection #rejection #rejectionpoetry

A rejection after 342 days, but hey, I made ‘em laugh. #submitelsewhere #blackoutrejection #rejection #anotherrejection #writerlife
