I failed!

Post by shoeless.db » Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:24 am

Hey all, I wanted to share I recently did not win or get an honorable mention for a small writing contest I entered. And, it feels amazing! It was the first piece of writing I've submitted to be judged in any form. I lost my metaphorical rejection virginity, and, just like my real virginity, it wasn't a big deal whatsoever.

Congrats to me! Here's to many more rejections as I realized the process of writing is what I enjoy anyhow.

Congratulations on the minor suck. And I was referring to you losing your virginity.

Remember that guy who gave up? Neither does anyone else.

All my efforts at running a successful fake baseball team have been rejected.

Wait.... is that a period instead of a comma!? Is Ron saying he’s only been rejected slightly more than once in his life?

I thought about editing it, but I liked the typo.
