On rejection & disappointment
A wound, but not yet fatal
I currently have a book proposal out on submission. You can read about what that means in this post:
And I want to be honest and open about what this process means.
We so often see the celebratory posts announcing book deals and prize-winning and it’s easy to forget about the messiness, and vulnerability, and disappointments.
I wrote this essay a few months ago and I’ve put it behind a paywall because I’m sharing a vulnerable and unresolved aspect of my life. And I only feel okay to do that within a defined space, which you are very welcome to join. xx
