Dennis Palumbo, screenwriter-turned-psychotherapist, on rejection:
In my experience, not only is it a mystery why certain good TV pilots or spec screenplays get rejected; often it’s a total mystery why they get accepted … Since you can’t know (or control) the outcome of any story pitch, audition or spec script, you’re free to just do your work … For any artist, over the long haul, it’s mastery of your craft, wedded to the sheer love of doing it, that sustains.
In other words: “Keep giving them you, until you is what they want.”
