Today's Fortune Cookie:

"Do not fear failure."

Somehow, this was even funnier when read aloud.

On the other hand, taken seriously, and applied to, say... writing, it's a good sign. At least I'm taking it as one.

Also, Alpha peoples... have you ever tried to explain to someone why rejections are a good thing? o.O I tried today. He didn't get it. At all.

... y'know, I was seeing the whole thing as an excerise in depressing oneself so one could write more.

I guess I was way off.

Waaaaay off. If you got depressed by every rejection.... you'd be depressed a lot. Some people get as many as five rejections before their first pro sale.

... but I am depressed a lot.

I write, therefore I cry.

Um. Really.

*grins* Or one is inspired in the face of controversy?

*nods* Er. Exactly.
