My Story Was Rejected Twice, and That’s Not Very Nice. Except Maybe it Is? (joshgriffiths.site)

I submitted my first short story to three magazines. After six months of waiting, it's been rejected twice (thrice maybe?) It's not a nice feeling being rejected, but its ultimately a good thing, in a way. I go through my thoughts as I process these rejections and what I'm going to do next.

Only two rejections? You're just getting started!

You're not allowed to give up until you've collected 100.
