[ISBW] Can Rejectomancy Save Our Sanity?

"I think the thing people have the most problem with is,
'This was very good, but it didn't excite me.'"

ISBW 22.8

Mur is back solo, talking about Rejectomancy and how to interpret the rejections you get, and more importantly, how to move forward after getting said rejection.

And the bad news: you're aiming to make writing a job, which means you have to deal with the bad parts along with the good.

Remember you can join us on Thursdays, 3pm Eastern on Twitch! The next live episode is April 9*, when we will talk about A Year of Furious Creation.

*(Maybe. I may have jury duty that day. Stay tuned.)
