I really loved the insights here, especially the one about not dying with your gifts still inside.
As for rejection being redirection, I think it’s also worth remembering that a good percentage of the time, rejection isn’t personal, it’s just your work didn’t land in the right place at the right time.

This is so, so true! This is why I think redirection is so key — just because it’s not the right time for one publication/agent/reader, that doesn’t mean there isn’t someone else waiting for exactly what you have to offer! If we don’t redirect, we might miss out on our perfect fit!
