Rejections

Well, I heard back from Marvel today. They declined allowing me to send in writing samples. That's the third rejection letter I've gotten from Marvel all together. I kind of figured as much, me being a virtually unproven writer and all, but it still hurts. I wish they had waited until after Christmas. :)

Seriously though I just wish I had the opportunity to at least show them my work rather than being turned away before even seeing what I'm capable of. I know of other writers that have my level of experience that have gotten to pitch, so I don't know what I did wrong that they did right.

Anyway, I'll get over it and look at the positives. I didn't expect to be picked up by Marvel with nothing published anyway, I just wanted to make them aware of me, but I didn't even get that chance. Oh well.

So I'll add that one to the stack and once I'm successful I'll look back on them with a sense of pride knowing I overcame the obstacles and the naysayers; knowing I proved them wrong, and hopefully got them to take a chance on me finally.

So here's to rejection letters! They are yet another factor that drives me to succeed!
