Hi y’all,
We had a fun and intimate conversation today on how to cope with rejection on an emotional, practical, and spiritual level. If you missed it, you can check out the recording.
Inés and I share our biggest rejection stories, offer tips on how to let go of projects, talk about where we find emotional support, and give suggestions on what the hell to do with your writing after a devastating blow. We also tackle a subscriber question: How do you keep going when you’re anticipating a rejection already?
Our next mini-salon in on Thursday, May 8th at 12pm CT/1pm ET. The topic? “Why Even Make This: Finding spiritual and practical meaning in the creative process.” Paid subscribers can submit questions ahead of time and will have access to the recording. If you are a free subscriber, the mini-salon is offered as a pay-what-you-can event with a $15 suggested fee (but we welcome all amounts). You can sign up here.
Here is a summary of my strategies and tips on how to empower yourself after a rejection, failure, or “break-up” with a creative project:
