After facing rejection from a memoir incubator program, the author felt a deep sense of personal loss. This rejection triggered self-doubt and concerns about their writing journey. They reached out to their supportive writing instructor, who encouraged them to pursue publishing their book. Learning from their experience, the author reflects on the necessity of encountering rejection as part of the writing process. This realization led them to understand that there are various paths to completing their memoir, even without a formal program like the incubator.
"Oh NO. I'm so sorry, Andrea. You will find a way for this incredible book to get published. I know it! xoxo."
"If you don't have a fairly high threshold for it (and aren't willing to learn from your mistakes), you're going to find yourself avoiding the challenges that lead to growth."
