If you’ve been following This Week in Rejection! for a while, then you know that I am — retroactively — most thrilled by those rejections which have some element of personal contact to them. At the time I received them, I could not understand that such rejections were good signs, indications that I’d made some care enough to want to say something other than just “No.” Looking back now, I am astounded that I wasn’t able to take these sorts of rejections as good news.
I’d been rejected by Madison Review before. But this time…
…there was a personal note that continued onto the back!
