Your details have now been carefully considered and, having concluded this process, we regret to inform you that we will not be pursuing your application further in this case."<BR/><BR/>I LOVE those shows, I know it's uncool to admit it, but I really want to do them, not just for the money neither. It does make you wonder what you have to do... But 1 in 150. That's what I gotta remember. And maybe I'll get 25 WOL or in on that SW Screen Initiative or The Royal Tapes instead. And if I don't there's the flamethrower option Ripley-style.Lucy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576008511353143019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17679499.post-68694992540529186422007-06-29T09:35:00.000+01:002007-06-29T09:35:00.000+01:00I've found the best way through this is to have so...I've found the best way through this is to have something else to get stuck into. We all have our share of rejections and it's easier to handle when you're already flying on another project, spec or otherwise. It puts the waiting to the back of the mind and if the rejection comes you can shrug it off by thinking, yeah, well, but wait 'til they see this!<BR/><BR/>I used to put all the eggs in one basket and then sit back and wait, and wait etc. Not any more.<BR/><BR/>AlistairAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17679499.post-28585020380591045582007-06-29T08:56:00.000+01:002007-06-29T08:56:00.000+01:00I'm right there with you, my friend. This is akin ...I'm right there with you, my friend. This is akin to the waiting one endures when you're overdue going into labour. You know extreme pain is coming, want it over, yet dread it at the same time. Rejection - or waiting for rejection when you know people have got their summons to the capital, like we do - is actually as bad, maybe worse, since despite all the horrible pain of labour you get a lovely little baby at the end. Whereas with this, we just have to dust ourselves down and get on with stuff. Yuk.Lucy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576008511353143019noreply@blogger.com
