Anyo...Lauren, rejection's just part of the gig. Anyone who wants to do something amazing and fun for a living (writing, acting, music, etc.) had to recognize that a lot of other people want to do it, too, and the competition will be fiercer than trying to get a job making widgets eight hours a day. <br /><br />That being said, when someone doesn't want to buy a widget, widget-makers don't feel like parts of their souls have been rejected. <br /><br />To "get over it," start by selling to people who are less likely to reject GLBT lit. Find stores with Gay/Lesbian sections, contact university bookstores, and avoid rural Mississippi. <br /><br />It gets easier, but it never gets easy. Best of luck.Disgruntled Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975975276659730388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685162904960933707.post-48503592100643988212010-11-15T13:49:10.274-05:002010-11-15T13:49:10.274-05:00I designed a game called Rejection Therapy back in...I designed a game called Rejection Therapy back in 2009 to encourage myself to get out of my comfort zone more.
