You WILL encounter rejection.

Sometimes it will be warranted, but often it will not be.

Sometimes it will come from people who really have no business evaluating creative material.

That comes with the territory.

Take a lesson from Barton Fink.

And take another lesson from Wallace Stevens, recipient of the 1955 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, who said "after the final no there comes a yes, and on that yes the future world depends."

Also draw some inspiration from this poem by Walt Whitman:
