I recently entered two writing contests. I did not enter to earn money; it cost to enter, and the prizes are not that big anyway. I entered hoping someone would fall in love with my writing. I entered so my story could be heard. Yesterday I got an email from the first contest...I did not move on to the next round. At least it was a nice letter encouraging me to keep writing. Still, it hurt. Other people have better stories than me (according to some judges). I disagree. I think my story is the best love story ever. At least it is for me, and I am confident that their are people out their who would agree, the right people have not read it yet. So, yes, rejection hurts, but I will keep getting my book in more and more hands, hoping that the right person will one day discover it and it will be a success.
