Hello, Every week I think ‘what a week it has been’ and then another one comes along. I have been writing a lot of short pieces in the last few weeks, some related to my forthcoming book, and some completely unrelated. Not all pitches are successful. In fact most are rejected. I was thinking about rejection, and how much of a knock-back it can be. But then I was also thinking of how everytime it happens, I somehow pick myself up and move on. I have realised that while they can be so demoralising, it is also a reminder that we might be doing something innovative, revolutionary, non-conforming that people are finding diff to fit into neat boxes.
