My Journey to Become a Writer

I have decided to pursue a part time career in writing and editing. I will chronicle my journey on this blog. 

Today I reached my first milestone in becoming a professional writer. Rejection.

I sent in a sample of a short 600+ word article to a website that is looking for writers. They replied that they think I need more experience. I think that is probably a nice way of saying that they think I suck. This hurts even more since the position was a volunteer one.

Rejection is part of being a writer, so I guess I got my cherry popped.
