I just wrote a similar piece this week- about rejections from publications off Medium over the last nine months. You’ve gotten so much support here in these comments - I hope you appreciate it. I got support on FB but not here- nada. I’ll keep writing though. I’ve done it daily five years on Wordpress (The Apples in My Orchard). You’ve got followers snd people engaging with you. Make time to engage back. I hope you stay snd keep going. Humans naturally want to connect. You’ve obviously struck a chord with this post!
