The Best Way to Handle Rejection?


Po Bronson, the writer of the international bestseller Bombardiers, reportedly advised that the best way to handle rejection is to begin writing your next book before the inevitable "dozens and dozens" rejections arrive in your inbox. Bronson advised:

Failure is part of it. You will be rejected dozens and dozens of times. The best way to prepare for it is to have something else in the works by the time the rejection letter arrives. Invest your hope in the next project. Learning to cope with rejection is a good trait to develop.

I would say that Bronson's method isn't the best way to deal with rejection. I would advise a writer to, simply, not take rejection personally, and, like Bronson encouraged, start writing your next book.
