Rejection

part of the process of writing

I saved my first REAL REJECTION

for Mango Tango, a language tango novel (I was young).

Dear Esther Cohen

said Susan from Doubleday

the problem with this novel

is the words.

Since then I’ve received many

many rejections (most not as memorable

as Susan’s from Doubleday)

but yesterday I got a poetry rejection

saying

I Kind of Liked This

But Not Enough

So No.
