I’ve decided to set a rejection goal for myself. 100 rejections this year for job or creative submissions.
I’m already at 4. Going to have to step up my game!
@K_REY_C @RussSharek that's amazing lol
@RussSharek @stuarttempleton Agreed. I think I saw this sometime last year and it reminds me of my favorite small quote from Samuel Beckett's work: "Fail better." I've always tried to take that to heart, because I've always found Beckett to be an optimist (some disagree), and that is the most succinct statement I've found for what productive process can look like. Both "get more comfortable with failing," and "fail so that you can learn what to fix" are both contained in that lovely statement.
@stuarttempleton This is genius!
@stuarttempleton
That's a neat idea. I'm going to have to ponder how I can apply a similar approach.
