im gonna rant a little sorry about it but, so
i know that ninety-five percent of putting your writing out there - submitting to lit mags, querying, submitting to contests - is rejection. i know that. i know that it's all subjective too, right? there isn't really one Objectively Good piece of writing - one person loves it, one person doesn't get it, one person hates it etc
that being said, i have been getting a lot of rejections lately, and i am starting to get seriously weighed down by them. i'm already in a bit of a slump with my writing, and add the rejections on top of that, i start to question if i'm actually any "good" at this thing, or if i should just quit while i'm ahead.
i don't know, just feeling really fucking sad and discouraged about writing rn (this does not include fic writing) and i guess i just wanted to say the quiet part loud if there's anyone else who reads this and is feeling the same way - it's fucking brutal out there, and i'm starting to not even want to play the game anymore
