Inspired by an audience member writing in, Episode 4 explores ways we are reframing rejection and failure to best aid us on our writing journey.  The following are questions regarding rejection and failure from our hosts:   1. How do you process rejection other than the generic , get yourself back on the horse or allow yourself time to sulk ? What’s another way of looking at not getting what you want for your writing ? 2. Have you ever failed at something you were trying to write? How did that failure function for you after? Is there a difference between how you saw failure earlier in your writing and now?   Show Notes 1.
