Have you heard of a “rejection collection”? It’s a simple, powerful way to help normalize failure within a group and encourage others to elevate their ambitions.

Rhaina Cohen discussed the idea more in their timeless article, “A Toast to All the Rejects”:

'The late anthropologist Helen Fisher, who studied human behaviour in the context of romantic love, showed that rejection and physical injury have much in common. In 2010 she led a study of people who had been recently rejected romantically. Functional MRI scans of their brains revealed that areas associated with distress and physical pain were more active. The passage of time did seem to reduce the pain response for Fisher’s participants, but for some people rejection can resonate for months or years. This overlap in the brain’s response to what we think of as physical and mental pain isn’t limited to romance. Social psychologist Naomi Eisenberger scanned the brains of people who were socially excluded from a ballgame in an experiment. Her results showed that “social pain is analogous in its neurocognitive function to physical pain, alerting us when we have sustained injury to our social connections”.'

Taking stock of my writing submissions today.
In 130 submissions of short stories and novel manuscripts to magazines, agents, and publishers, I now have:

- 120 rejections
- 7 acceptances: 1 novel & 3 stories published + 3 stories pending
- 1 revise & resubmit
- 2 pending submissions

That's around a 6% success rate.

KEEP GOING.

The problem never was #technology being #accessible and #affordable.

And in this case, universal #rejection of an #AntisocialMedia-run #Shitverse that makes #ReadyPlayerOne look awesome by comparison just doesn't work!

  • The few people that care about #VR are already invested or waiting till they can afford to jump in or find some place to give it a try, but it's not gonna change things.

Stop believing that people inherently know what's best for you; unsolicited advice often hinders personal growth and can be exhausting. 🙅‍♀️ scrollbots.com

Rejection always stings, but for disabled daters it often hits deeper—echoing years of subtle bias, exclusion, and being seen as “friend material” but not a romantic one. This piece explores why that pain feels so heavy and how to reclaim your worth beyond a “no.”

I've been rejected again. Should I get a PhD?

People tend to look at peer-reviewed journals as a sign of credibility. I've not written about the nonsense of peer review, but these are unadulterated gatekeeping mechanisms antithetical to knowledge dissemination.

The Inferiority Complex

The hardest decision that I had to make in my life so far was labeling myself selfish for being structurally unable to meet the people that everybody else in my community already knows well. I am meant to be famous, and everyone around me with the exception of my direct authorities would agree. However, after never receiving the natural opportunities that would allow me to network with peers that everybody else gets to network to, I would decide that I am a lesser person for my missed […]

✨️Motivation for actors✨️

A callback is a win. In this industry, we rarely get feedback because casting teams receive thousands of submissions. Casting associate Bailey Frances (Shakyra Dowling) confirmed: a callback is your feedback. A self-tape invitation is, too. Be punctual, know your lines, and give your best every time. And if you need fresh input - I coach actors of all levels.
