Inspiration from Rejection Letters

Hello Scribblers

 What's the most inspiring thing you can think of?

I bet it's not a rejection letter. 

But, prompted by these disheartening missives, some clever people have developed a website where rejection letters are celebrated. They welcome submissions in the form of said dismissive correspondence, but also poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, hybrid work- whatever you like really.

They like the absurd, the heartbreaking, the hysterical. Why not peruse the website to get a feel for the kind of work they tend to publish- have a browse through their poetry, non-fiction, rejection letters and other categories. You might just get inspiration for a piece of your own to share with your fellow scribblers, or to submit for publication.

At the very least, you might become a little more accepting of any rejection letters that come your way.

Follow the link below for some rejection... I particularly enjoyed 'The First Fish Who Walked Out of the Sea'.
