Rejection Notice Blues

577063-963319-thumbnail.jpgBeing a writer, you get accustomed to rejection.  Seriously.  I estimate on average that I get at least 20-25 rejection notices before I get a contest win or accepted to a publication.  But you get pretty thick skinned and you never take it personally.  I'm really not the one to complain about getting rejected.  But when an editor sends me a rejection notice addressed to "Adam"...well I start to second guess if they carefully they read my work and cover letter.  Seriously, how the hell does Adam = Adrian?  I just can't figure that equation out.  Oh well, I'll do what I always do, dust myself off and keep writing and submitting.  I'm putting the finishing touches on a new poetry manuscript I plan on sending out to a couple of contests, so I'll be busy with that this weekend.  I'll post up here again soon...just had to get that bit of frustration off my chest.

Sincerely,

Adam S. Potter
