How do you feel when your article gets rejected?

When I was in Highschool, I used to contribute in our school paper, but I only write using our native language. There was a time when our adviser assign me to write an English article about our country's grade system. I was nervous at first but I still agreed on writing the article. However, when I finished writing it and submit it to her, she told me that she cannot put it in the paper because apparently she forgot that she also gave that topic to one of the editor. I was really upset that time because it wasn't even reviewed by her, it was rejected because of her own carelessness.

Rejection or your article being rejected will obviously down heart you. Nowadays I have had so many articles rejected that am used to it. Rejection does not make me fret but move on. After all I can produce much more.

Well, I agree that after rejection you just need to move. I used to feel so bad whenever my articles got rejected. I later realized some clients will reject articles based on their feelings, while others will reject the articles as a means of exploitation.

I agree! Every time my article got rejected in the past I was so devastated and disappointed but now... I read the article again and I realize I can write a much more better article than this one and I do it. I send it again and they usually accept it. Now that is when I feel proud of myself.

When rejections come if you lack confidence (you are not quite sure your writing is good enough to be published) odds are you'll never submit an article again.

This is why writers must be learn to be confident. It is the one thing that will buoy you up when you desperately need the motivation to continue writing and submitting articles - many of which may still be rejected - until you get what you seek.

I understand your feelings of being rejected. You work hard for it and yet it's not being reviewed by your adviser. You must understand that this is the reality in life and you have to accept it. It may hurt but it will make you strong. It's not everything that we do is appreciated and pleasing to others. What matter is you have done your best and face challenges in your life. I have so many rejection and disappointment in life. But, I learned to accept and face it with courage and humility.

That's a nice way of handling things. A lot of us get hung over the details. We're too caught up in our rejection that we forget there are more opportunities out there. What matters is that we keep trying. Eventually, we'll get where we want to go.

I'm not really good with rejection. If my article gets rejected and I feel that the article is a good one, I would ask the site for the reason. If it's not a valid one then I won't go back to that site ever again. Also I'll write a dozen bad reviews about the site and scatter it all over the internet. That is, if the reason they give is not a reasonable one.

Well that is really a sad experience and it really feels bad to be rejected after doing all your best just to have such article. Sometimes we cannot predict some situation like these and the best thing to do is move on and do not become so worried about it since it is not yet the end of the world. We can still write some article in due time and for sure there are still a lot of opportunities that is waiting for us. Just be positive and confident for your self and have the patience to wait for the right time.

Rejection is a part of life and we need to accept it gracefully. I think when you get older you are able to cope up with the disappointment associated with any kind of rejection. There are times when we have to reject the work of others. Most of the times our work gets rejected when it is not up to the mark or when someone else comes up with something better. Its always better to take rejection positively and move ahead after learning from our mistakes.

It is also a sign that we need to improve in some areas where we are weak so that next time around we can have already a success with it.

One thing all writers ought to keep in mind is that no matter how good a writer you are, eventually some of your work will be rejected (or the fans won't like something you've written and the book, short story collection, etc doesn't sell that much).

Rejection doesn't need to scar you for life. Get knocked down once, you should pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going. But of course this depends on how badly you want something.

I had also tried submitting an article to the school's paper when I was in high school. It was actually a part of our English subject's assignment and was a graded work. I gave it my blood, sweat and tears, so to speak that when it was not published, I really felt bad. Maybe that was one of the reasons why I did not prosper much in written English because I was frustrated with that rejection. But that was a long time ago and I was able to move on. Thanks to my office job that gave me the confidence to be myself in terms of English.

It is okay to feel bad when your article gets rejected. That is the initial reaction of anyone who experiences rejections. But we have to remember that acceptance is the key. We just have to learn from it and work harder to provide a better article. We need to respect their standards and let us be competitive to meet their qualifications.

Oh you just reminded me of my first ever rejection. I wrote a story for a magazine way back in the days when there were no computers and no Internet to tell you what not to do. It was a good story, but not at all suited to the women's magazine I sent it to. The story is lost, but now I would know where to place it. The editors were generous with their remarks, but felt the story too subjective for their magazine. Nowadays I would have turned it into a love story. It was about a time we tried to give money to a poor man who offered us a meal in the desert. He was most offended. Of course, now I know I should have sent it to a travel magazine, or an anthropological one.

Studying why an article or story might be rejected is a valuable thing to do. At college, we were told the writer, Virginia Woolf papered her walls with manuscript rejections.

I think one must always be open to criticism. When my articles are rejected, I try to understand what mistakes I made, read the editor's suggestions and then I improve my writing. Of course, if I feel an article of mine is rejected unfairly, I also speak up. So basically, maintaining a professional balance is key.

When a writer gets their first rejection, they'll be upset. When my horror story was rejected lots of questions whirled round my mind. Was my my writing that horrible? Was the editor unfair? Etc., etc.

All writers have some of their work rejected. Sure the feeling isn't that great but there is always a good reason why something you have written gets rejected. Sometimes it just is the editors already have everything they need.

When your article or story you've submitted somewhere gets rejected, try to sell it elsewhere. Someone else could buy it.

I can confirm that I have tested this method and it works, although sometimes it takes time to sell. I once wrote 6 travel articles and they were all rejected. That made me feel so bad because the client rejected the work after some disagreement with the site owner.
After one week, I found someone who bought each article at $15, which was thrice the initial price.

Usually remember that writing is an artwork. There might be several reasons for a rejection. Even if your outcomes are flawlessly in order, a article submission could get rejected due to the end result presentation, grammar, formatting, or maybe submission to the incorrect subject. After you get the grasp on, you're probably to turn out to be unstoppable. You quick learn the how, what and where of journal submissions for greatest results.

Rejection is a common thing, not only for writers but for every creator. As for me, I do not throw away what I have written as though they are useless. For some, I submit them to others who needs the same content. Others I keep for reference for future articles. Just never think that your effort was worthless, after all you have your output. Just think of it this way: you have your writing in practice, and it is not a mere thought anymore. You have already done the job.

It is a normal thing to be upset and get disappointed when you are rejected. However, that's not the end of everything. Always remember, nobody starts at the finish line. Sometimes it is necessary to separate the boys from men. Take note that failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of success and sometimes God allows you to fail not because you're a failure but because He wants you to learn something from that experience.

Well, one thing that is very peculiar in life is that nobody is perfect in anything the individual is doing and when it comes to article writing, we all still need to improve on our work because we are definitely going to be criticized one way or another.

So, in essence what I'm trying to say is that when my articles are rejected, it only mean that I need to improve my work in order to have it accepted and approved.

It is understandable that you feel bad with what happened to you. It is because you worked hard for it and spend time and effort but your adviser lacks interest to even look at it. She should have reviewed it and compared to the work of the other student he/she assigned before dismissing your submission. Use this as a motivation to make your writing even better. That way, you will be preferred over the others.

The feeling is downright disappointment and at the same time frustrated when my first article rejected by a peer reviewed journal. Instead of admitting the mistakes as highlighted by the editor or reviewer, I maintained and insisted that my article was the best and the messages were very valid. It was the reviewer or the editor who did not understand or they were not supposed to be assigned to review my article as the were not qualified. That was the feeling I felt when my article was first got rejected.

You should take rejection as a learning curve. It is not easy to accept it but we must learn to live with it because people get rejected all the time, We should change our mindset and take rejection as a learning experience. Before submitting articles, I get scared. I keep doubting myself but I also know that I have to face it. If I get rejected that means that I have to do a better job and do it well. It means I have room for improvement, this is good right? People should never stop improving and just continue to move forward. There is no limit in knowledge and skills.

Ofcourse very dissapointing, I have worked my ass hard for it, spent time, effort and emotion just to create an article with the hopes to be recognized, but I need to stay positive to get through it. What I do is I just take a break and take time to mourn.
It is also important to ask someone why is it rejected, what dis I do wrong and what can I do to improve.

I will really feel bad in the first place but then I must admit that is the reality in article writing that sometimes there would be some people who might not like our articles since we have different views when it comes to certain things. In short we cannot really pleased everybody to like our articles that is why we must need to do something to avoid such incident of rejection to happen again.

The first emotion I used to feel when my article got rejected was sadness which is then followed by disappointment in myself that I should have done better, I should've researched more, then I'd question myself a lot on what I should've done instead. It's only natural to be upset over it because a rejection is still a rejection but what you need to do after being down is to move on and start writing again.

The first time my work was rejected was back when I was a school writer. I am a newbie that time so that'll likely happen but do you know the feeling of having a beautiful child then you realized it's all just a dream? That's what a felt that time. I felt heart broken. But after that, I realized rejection is really a part of our lives and we can use that to be better on what we dream of.

I think that that was really horrible of her to do that. Many people in authority do not understand the effect that rejection has on some people.How do you reject someone’s article with such flagrant disregard to their feelings? I think also when we get to positions of authority we forget where we started from and we are caught up in our own power. Always treat people with consideration and respect no matter how junior you consider them.Getting an article rejected hurts.

In your case, your article was not rejected. Had she reviewed it and said some things about it that were critical then you could say it was rejected because of the things she said. But she basically said she was careless and forgetful. Clearly, the fault was hers. It had nothing to do with your writing.

I don't often have my articles rejected. But if one site does not accept an article, I usually take it to another site where it gets accepted. Hey! “One man's junk is another man's treasure.” I feel confident in my writing. I'm pretty sure that just because my written work did not meet the criteria for a particular site that doesn't mean it's totally unacceptable and can't be published anywhere! If your work gets rejected, stay confident and keep moving forward.

I think that if my article were rejected I always find the reasons for it so that I can change and improve on whatever mistakes I have made. I always see rejection as a new start for my article writings since I know that in every mistakes that I will make I will learn some important lessons that I can used for future improvements.

You have a nice positive attitude that can give you a better disposition in times of crisis. If you will remain that way then I guess you will go far with your writing because you show potential in terms of patience and perseverance. I know of some good writers who have a bad temper that we can expect how he would feel once he gets a rejection.

I think in writing we need to have a lot of patience and perseverance to do things on our own because it is a tough task that we need to fulfill. We cannot succeed in writing if we will be easily tempted by our anger or emotions. We need to show positive response and attitudes towards any challenges that we will encountered because life is full of obstacles for us to tackle.

I feel a variety of emotions. There may be times when I am upset with myself because I could have done better. There are times when I am upset with the client because they did not see me working my tail off. Other times I take it with a grain of salt and just think next time will be better.

I know that even the best writers have to improve. Or room for improvement. So, therefore, I try not to let it bother me that much if I have an article that is rejected. Because I feel that one can always learn from this.

My problem is that your article can be rejected for various reasons under the sun.What if the client is being over fussy, and they just dont like your work for some reason, not because its not well written or not grammatically correct, they just don't like it. In cases like this why take the blame? You have done the best you could have. Guys we have to be very careful about something like this or someone can bring down your self confidence. Know where you are at, how good you are and where you need to improve.

How do you feel when your article gets rejected : I experienced it before when I was in college, If I am not mistaken it was a seminar paper. Every graduating student should make their individual output ang depend it to the class but before you can depend it, it must be approve by the adviser. I already come up 5 topic but always rejected it makes me feel sad and i didn't make another one.After 3 weeks my adviser call my attention, i am so depress that time and i think can't graduate with my batchmate. She advice me in a way that she is not my adviser untill I came up a successful one and do depend it.
