This sounds so interesting Claire. A great project and so much vulnerability from the collective that needs to be shared. Just reading your post conjured up a whole load of emotion. It sounds like an amazing journalling exercise for someone who isn’t an experienced writer even if I don’t submit anything

Such a beautiful invitation Claire. And interesting to me to re-open the idea of rejection, after years of social media content such as 'rejection is redirection' etc - which I believe for sure - but it has kinda bypassed sitting deeper into the actual feeling of rejection, which holds such intelligence itself, which I'm now excited to dive into.

Oh wow, this sounds like a brilliant project, as does the idea behind your memoir. How amazing to be 10k words in with the support of your writing group 💛 I’m going to think on this, have some ideas that need some shaping! Thank you for this thought provoking invitation xx
