About.com not

[vaneramos]

About.com rejected my application. The topic I wanted has disappeared from the list, so I'll chalk it up to: "Someone with better qualifications must have applied." I will continue to watch the site for an area of interest and apply again if I can. I am disappointed though.

Sorry to hear that. From what I can tell, dealing with rejection seems to be very much part of being a writer. One writer I used to follow on LJ had as a goal to get a certain number of rejection letters each year. If she also got acceptance letters that was great, but it was the rejection letters she had a goal for.

Yes, I know about that part. For some reason I had the idea About.com would not be difficult. I'm unlikely to take these rejections personally. However, persistence is not my strong suit. I have to change that.
