The Name of the Game is Lightworks

I have poetry submission marathon days from time to time, and I always feel amazing afterward, "Now someone is going to read my work and love it, and I'll get another great publication name to put in my poet bio. It'll be GREAT!"

When it comes to rejections, I just try to remember the intelligence of the salty bard: "Rejections are no hazard; they are better than gold. Just think what type of miserable career you would be today if all your works had been accepted."

Unfortunately, when you submit work to a bunch of places at the same time, you get rejections in clumps. Three rejections in one day definitely stings. Ouch.
