You moon the wrong person at an office party and suddenly you're not 'professional' any more.

Hi Elton, thanks for another great column. Yes, rejection does hurt, but pain makes you stronger . I see the path to being published as a comic book writer as a long journey with a series of steps. Actually getting to the point where you submit something, only to have it rejected, is One Giant Leap For Writers-kind.

The thing that makes me mad about writing comics is the attitude among fandom that anyone can do it. What I have learned is that anyone can TALK about writing comics, few can actually do it.

I spent years as a talker, telling anyone who listened that I was going to be a comic book writer. Of course, I never did much about it ... Once you take that step to submit, accepted or rejected, you are a writer for real. You have laid yourself on the line for Story and the only thing better than that is the first email that contains the word "Yes".

Thanks Jason!

I agree with you -- it really is a major consciousness shift, moving from talking about writing to actually doing it, and putting your work out there to be judged by someone else.

That first "yes" was a real boost for me. But now I've gotta find the second one!
