Call For Submissions — Creative Challenges and How You Deal

I’m someone who keeps receipts. So when I wrote an article a few years back about getting rejected by agents, you better believe I saved the emails and screenshoted them for the post.

Rejection is one of the toughest challenges for writers, one of many. For this week’s writing prompt, tell me what is the most difficult or challenging creative moment that has happened to you in the past year? Is it being rejected by a publication? Not achieving a creative goal?

We wanna know.

Same rules as always:

• You can submit to this or ANY of our past writing prompts. Just scroll through our previous newsletters. They’ll be marked “Call for Submissions.”
• If you’re already a writer for CRY, go ahead and submit.
• Be as creative as you want in your submissions. As long as you stick to the topic, we’ll consider it.
• Just because you submit doesn’t mean we’ll post. If you haven’t heard back from us in three days, consider that a pass.
