Have you ever been rejected from a festival, gig, journal, or contest – and then felt the burn and sting of that “no”? I sure have.

I’ve just made a video with four strategies that help me deal with the rejection that is part and parcel of being an artist in the world. Happens to everyone!

It’s the first in a new series I’m creating for you called “Creative Hurts and How to Heal Them.” I hope so much that it’s helpful and I hope that it encourages you to put rejection in its rightful place and to KEEP GOING.

There’s honor in trying and trying again. Don’t give up, OK?
