The submission window for a literary magazine just opened up. This is the same one that rejected me a while back. Part of me wants to submit again.
But part of me is terrified of the rejection.
Absolutely terrified.
I have been in a fragile state in terms of my writing as of late. It feels as if every word is one letter away from ruining everything in the piece. I have been tearing pieces apart. I have been editing. Modifying. Examining. Refining. Doing so much. It feels as if it is not enough.
Does this feeling ever go away? This dread of rejection.
I gotta keep trying though. I did not give up whenever Thought Catalog kept rejecting my pieces. I just kept swimming.
So, maybe I will try again. What’s the worse that can happen?

I would try again if I were you, the more you write the more you learn 🙂👍

You can do it Chandy. Don’t let the negative past destroy your potentially positive future. Believe it will happen and concentrate on all the positives that come from it. I believe you’ll get there!
