Meh

2 rejections in 2 days* brings on the Janet Jackson Syndrome*....where I doubt I'll ever sell anything again and become generaly blah. This usually only lasts a day or so, as I'm normally a comparatively 'up' person. So don't worry about me, I'll get over it. ;o)

My horoscoop also agrees that today is destined to be a blah day. Take some time for yourself to be mellow and quiet. Today is one of those intense days in which you feel overpowered by the energy around you. Don't resist this feeling. Sink into your emotions and experience them for the power that they can bring to your overall psyche.

Yeah, right, like I have time for that...

I saw a rejection from Baen's on Duotrope, which makes me wonder if they're moving on the RTF list again....

*yes, I know that's not all that bad, just shows how fragile the feeling of success is

And the thing is, you're a published writer, have been invited to submit to invitaiton only anthologies, things like that...

Isn't it weird that a little tiny bit of rejection can make us feel so bad?

Two rejections in a row. But I can deal with that. The worst is that I had three stories lost/no response after 5-7 months and 2 queries. One of the markets had done it before.
