ON FICTION AND FAILURE

A writer’s relationship with rejection is like that of a fish to water: it’s all that’s there.
Daniel Handler

Once upon a time…

I read a fantastic essay called Why You Should Aim for 100 Rejections a Year and it's inspired me to be a proud failure ever since.

Behold! My literary success sits at a total of 8 acceptances.
