I Received My First Publication Rejection

Here’s my response.

My response will be at the bottom of this post.

The following article was rejected:

“In only three months, the combination of hard work and passion have led to my following skyrocketing this year.

While my friends go to work, come home and watch television, I work hard by sitting in front of my computer writing articles about my life, hot topics, and science.

3 lessons I learned from the last 3 months:

1.Be passionate. You have to want something. Is your goal to bring value to others? Or is it to build an audience?

2.Be consistent. Don’t do what I did and give up for a month. That’s right, it took me 2 months of effort to get to where I am, even though I’ve had an account for 3 months.

3.Be patient. It didn’t happen overnight. It took two months of consistency to get to this level.

My following count is now 14. With each article, I’ve gained one follower. I highly recommend that new writers stick with their goals, and complete their New Medium’s Resolutions.

That’s right, New Medium’s Resolutions. Who cares about New Years when we have Medium, am I right?

Resolutions to live by.

Next, you can remain accountable by filling out this checklist:

Accountability Checklist to honor your resolutions

You are more than welcome to take from my resolutions, or customize to your own ideas. The goal is to do what works for you.

As an author and full-time employee, I manage my time wisely by foregoing sleep. This is evident by my income skyrocketing too. I am thrilled to report that after 14 articles posted and 14 followers, I have made 3 cents!!!

Look out folks, because I am now able to to quit my full-time job to be a full-time writer.

At time of writing, I am feeling on top of the world.”

Response

You probably guessed that it was a satire piece, and you’re correct. I submitted to Slackjaw, knowing it was a shot in the dark. I thought it would be a great way for me to get my piece in the hands of others. Outreach towards others will not occur if I stick to one niche with one target audience.

This year, I intend to make massive impact despite my limitations behind a keyboard.

I’m a sponge absorbing countless droplets filled with words of other writers encouraging others to seek rejection.

Tim Denning wrote a powerful piece about seeking rejection to learn a bit about persistence and self-improvement.

Mason Sabre wrote a perspective piece for new and seasoned writers. If you’re writing for money, do you really mean what you write?

Dr. Derek Austin 🥳 teaches writers the value of publications, and even over-delivers by adding resources for the new writer.

While I am new to Medium, I am in awe of the value writers provide to others on this platform. I am comforted by the rejection, and I know that it will not be my last. I am eager to be rejected again.

If you’re like me, keep going. Keep publishing!
