Since I embarked on my freelance writing career, I have experienced rejection more often than I have received acceptance. Now I have been a professional long enough and have worked with enough tough bosses that I can take criticism — including harsh criticism — and not get crushed. After 19 years of working in various offices, I now have a pretty tough skin.
However, I don’t just let rejection slide over me. I gnaw on it and suck the juices out of it.

Hi Lexi,
I truly appreciate this post, as i ponder the thought of being rejected quite often. Aside from everything that I aspire to do professionally, freelance writing is my highest goal. I am slowly putting together all that I have learned from you and some other inspirational, successful internet marketers, and I continue to engage in content writing for a internet company in order to develop not only my skills, but mostly my confidence as a writer.
