I’m sure Tom Petty was really talking about waiting for his girl to put out in “The Waiting (is The Hardest Part)” but I think it also applies to the rejection playlist. And I love Tom because he’s is also a native Floridian and he’s brilliant.
As writers we spend a lot of time waiting to hear back from agents and editors and contests. For someone like me who has zero patience, the waiting is always the hardest part.
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Oh don’t let it kill you baby, don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it kill you baby, don’t let it get to you
