I just wanted to drop in and say thank you so much for creating this submission. It's been such a beautiful time reflecting on rejection and what gems are there for us to discover. I've just submitted my piece and can't to read all that come from this!
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
i like having a deadline and theme and clear parameters. it really helps focus the mind on the writing. i'm in. so many experiences to choose from! looking forward to reading the many stories you'll have inspired into being :)
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
Oooh I'm in! Have left the Google form open on my laptop so I can work on this over the next few weeks :) such a great idea for lifting up and supporting each other. I am sure there are so many who wish to share their rejection stories ❤️

Aw thanks for being here Carly Rose - I'll pop over and read today, xx
For submission, is the "posting" on our own Substacks and tagging you "in addition to" submitting via the Google form or "in lieu of"?
You are welcome to publish anywhere online and the tag just makes sure I see it so I can save it and share.
Wonderful, thank you!
I just found out about this. Definitely submitting, Claire. 💕
✨💕✨
Definitely going to start working on this topic ✨🤍
Yay!!
