You have a spreadsheet? A submission list? That sounds very organized, I should probably do something like that because eventually the IRS will start asking me if I ever submit anything that justifies all the tax write-offs I enter into Turbo Tax every year.

I’m usually very good at self delusion. I’ll add more practice of that to my summer to-do list.

Drink.

I don’t really do that but it might be a good idea.

Honestly what I do is open them up and stuff them in the top left drawer of my desk. Then in a few days or weeks, I’ll pull them all out and add the info to my submission lists (my spreadsheet is too hard for me to read) and resubmit work. I start at the top tiers of magazines and I’m ready to send all my work to high school magazines, I think. Though most of them only accept work from current students. I can always get around that with some fancy computer hacking, etc.

Sometimes I try to think of reasons the rejection is actually a good thing. I didn’t really like that journal anyway, I’ll tell myself. Or now I don’t have to contact them when my poem is accepted by another journal. Yes, self delusion seems to be the best remedy.
