'I got some weird fiction published' or: 'Don't let rejections stop you' (feddit.de)

This post might sound like an advertisement (which it partly is, of course, you don't try to get published if you don't want people to read your stuff) but I want to use this post to encourage other new writers.

It took a long time to find a home for this story and I thought about giving up on it when rejections started piling up in my inbox. I'm sure there are others who feel the same from time to time, but please continue to submit.

For those interested, here is the story: https://stateofmatter.in/fiction/milk/

"Milk, does a body good" or not?

That was a very fascinating read and very thought provoking. Thank you for that!

Of course! I can´t imagine anything more devastating and heart breaking than having put lots of effort into something, be it an artwork, a music piece or a story, and then nobody reads or comment on it.
