dear ms. jodi, something tells me you would truly enjoy the book “how to become a famous writer before you’re dead,” by the writer ariel gore.

Congrats! I actually just got another rejection my own self, and felt bummed about this one until your post got my head straight.

i sent the same short story to four literary magazines with varying levels of glossy professionalism.

they ranged from stapled pile of practically mimeographed sheets to a little magazine with a title even the lay person has probably heard of.

my third rejection was from the stapled mimeographs [which i referred to as my ‘safe magazine’] and the one that took the longest was from the *famous* one i knew wouldn’t like me anyway.

anyway, it is kind of fun to say the phrase “rejection letter.”
