I loved this! I'm only 10 submissions (and 10 rejections!) into my goal of getting 100 rejection letters - this is the reminder I needed to get back at it.

This is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. Five submissions and four rejections feels hard and heavy for me, but this perspective is abundantly encouraging. And! I also want to claim the whole of Jo March's personality for myself. Begrudgingly, I'm releasing that. Thank you for your words.❤️
