Writers, we need a better word for not getting an acceptance other than “rejection”. It sounds too personal and negative. I propose we call it a “not yet”. As in, “I received another ‘not yet’ from Alfred Hitchcock Magazine. #writing #rejection

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
