I began studying Creative Writing because after receiving, 'thank you for sending your story' ... 'but we published one like that yesterday', or 'thanks but not quite suitable', type letters for a year, I thought I might start behaving oddly if I didn't get some advice. I even considered working for nothing in the village shop to take my mind of the rejection slips. While on the course though I became anxious about missing freelance opportunities!
Now the course has finished I've been submitting with more confidence. Rejection letters? Phooey!
