That way you can turn a rejection into something fun. : )<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-10762670425733280702014-02-04T21:52:04.445-07:002014-02-04T21:52:04.445-07:00Many years ago, in the mid 90's, I kept them i...Many years ago, in the mid 90's, I kept them in a folder, but it was bursting so I threw all the letters out.<br /><br />These days I put them in an email folder, just as a reference to look back whenever I sign a contract.

We'd like magazine editors to remember us for positive things whenever possible!<br /><br />My procedure has honestly just been to stick them in a folder in my desk. For e-rejections, I save them. I don't know why as I don't re-read anything but personal rejections where the editors want more of my work like this-but-not-this.

No, not that kind of number two.<br /><br />All I ever get, sorry, correction, all Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar gets is praise.

I wouldn't have the guts to do it, but I bet a few other writers would. I'm rather boring. I keep all my rejection letters in a binder. Unfortunately, there are no acceptance letters in there yet.
