Another highlight from this past month was getting my first rejection letter.
This is not something that I'd normally say qualifies as a highlight. But when I first got it, it oddly felt good.

Rejection letters are to be expected when it comes to trying to get published. I hadn't created a full length manuscript, but I have written a few shorter pieces since starting this journey and so I thought I'd take a stab at trying to get one of them published in a Literary magazine. After waiting for a grueling 5 weeks, I finally got a response. Thanks, but no thanks.
When I saw this response I almost felt relief. I had passed another rite as a writer. My first of many rejection letters to come.
I'm sure it feels good to get published. But it also feels good to be rejected and still love the act of writing.
