Imagine my horror this week when a revelation came about...it wasn't my work nor my dated device that caused erratic acceptances of my stories. This truth was told - the computer didn't like me! OUCH! I was heartbroken and inconsolable. Some day I may get over it...some day...maybe.....
Rejection is nothing new to me. It has greeted me more times than I care to remember. But that's OK...Perhaps it has made me a stronger person, rich in wisdom. Get real, rejection has left me feeling like a failure with a very bruised ego.

Good one, Pamela. Whether by humans or computers, rejection hurts, but we must keep going.

We should remember that even Nobel Prize winning books were rejected by several publishers.

True. If rejection makes you sadder, it makes you wiser too. Very well written, Pamela.

When you hear that computer calling you a loser, it might be time for some therapy, Pamela. I sense a little paranoia going on here, but I like the personification.

As a person who is challenged by all things technological, ou have my complete understanding Pamela. By the way, if your computer is rejecting you, it has no taste whatsoever.

Whoever or whatever else rejects you Pamela, be assured you are always accepted by your fellow FFF club. United we stand.
