If you're any good, editors will always want your work. And yes, don't take rejections personally. It's like modelling, your work may be beautiful, but perhaps they've just run a story like that, or they're after a different look ... They're not rejecting you personally, and you can always try another publication and/or another idea. Good luck to your friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596142995497292286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-38174094153341444862010-09-21T09:04:14.120+10:002010-09-21T09:04:14.120+10:00Very timely post for me.

Was a full-time journalist, now a part-time journalist, part-time blogger, full-time mother. Even though I already write for a living, it's still a daunting prospect to put myself out there. I think blogging has helped me in that respect, but still I sit on my hands.
