100 rejections

This is a common exercise to [[ Put Yourself Out There ]] and practise Sending Your Work Out. Within a year, the aim is to get 100 rejections, not acceptances. This way it shifts your mindset so you Embrace Failure. It’s quite a large number so it pushes you to Apply for everything. Getting Rejections means you might also get some published on the way.

I have never done this. The most I have aimed for in a year is 50 submissions, but may try it in the future.
