Listen "The Rejection Diaries: Despair to Hope"
Episode Synopsis
Is there any hope?There is always hope - the only way there is no hope is if you give up forever. Otherwise hope persists.“Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you see it, you'll never make it through the night”How to pull yourself out of the depths?Strategies:Take a break (from writing/social media - whatever works for you)Reflect on why you’re writingWrite something only for youForget everything you know about the industry/chances of publication and write like a newbie. Try not to over-analyse or think while you write - forget all that craft knowledge, especially during a first draft. The time for applying that can come later.Tell someone how you feel - EVERY writer will have felt this despair at some point. They will empathise and may have a kind word or two to say to you that might help. At the very least, you'll know you’re not alone.
