I got my first taste of it a week ago.
A certain competition I entered just ended.
I didn't win anything.
I was really, really hoping. I was wanting, needing, a raw kind of needing. That kind of needing when you put your emotions into something so much that when you get nothing back it feels like a slap in the face.
No matter how many times authors and experienced writers tell me it sucks, you always have to go through it yourself. It doesn't matter how many times they explain it to you word for word, it will never be exactly the same. They can never prepare you for it.
They can only try to help you feel better.
"Everyone else gets rejected a million different times. It doesn't matter how talented you are."
I don't want to be everyone.
