I'm still trying to learn how to accept it, probably will always struggle with it.
I feel you. It's hard getting a nice and polite e-mail (even when it's not a form letter) saying that your lovingly crafted work, that you took so much pride in, doesn't meet whatever grade they're looking for.
But the route they chose to deal with it was definitely the WRONG one. I'd never EVER want to piss Jennifer off :P
Totally agree with you on both accounts. Regarding the first, my responses to rejection are always a quick "Thank you for reading my story and your time. I hope that in the future I'll get a chance to work further with you."
Regarding the second, I have this feeling that there would be stomping and that Jen owns several pairs of footware appropriate for the occasion.
