I found an interesting, slightly depressing, but mostly humorous, blog last night.

Literary Rejections on Display

I especially liked this quote:

“BTW, in the past year: 1.) One acquaintance fell into a [publishing] deal by some crafty feminine wiles; 2.) Another was nominated for the Pushcart on a first effort; 3.) Yet another got a pilot deal; 4.) Oh? Still one more got some shelf space at a magazine; 5.) I got rejected by Barnes and Noble. As a cashier.”

After reading lots of rejections that other people have received I feel more prepared for the road ahead of me.
