Oh, but I do get something! As a member of Inlandia's 100 Rejections Club, I'm part of a community of creatives racing to receive 100 rejections in a year's time. Plus, each month we compete to see who's on top of the rejection heap. We make rejection FUN. So even form rejections are good good good. Wanna join us? More info here:
