I'll get those last three rejections!

Alright, it's August. I don't have an excuse anymore. I need those last three rejections. Collecting rejections isn't a bad thing.

I hear from people. Isn't collecting rejections a bad thing? Isn't it bad to talk about wanting rejections. but the thing is, the more I send the stories out, the more I expect a rejection, the harder I will work to get that much better. I'll work harder each and every time. Getting a rejection is a validation for me that I've been sending out my stories and doing the right thing. How is that bad?

Given that, I have three more rejections to fill my quota for the year. I have to say that as I get more rejections in a year my writing seems to be far better than anything I've written in the previous year. I can see a lot more differences. Maybe I should increase my quota of rejections.

I also found the more people who share in your passion of getting a rejection, the less daunting it is to send things out. The less fear you have and the easier it is to just get that manuscript out there.

I have a story up to par enough to get rejected three times by the end of the year. It's not a crappy story, but to hope that I can get the rejections I need to reach my quota make it appealing. I do wonder if I sound nuts though and this post is going to come back to haunt me later.
