Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 13, 2016

Yes, wish I could do that. Though not nearly as many would I bury.

Hopes, dreams, ideas, RIP.

Ask Snoopy what he does with his rejection letters.

Bob’s aspirations are firmly entrenched.He takes the hole thing very seriously.

Don’t bury the Underwood, Bob. It may have value as an antique.

unnormal,….Yes, they should be given Royal treatment….

So THAT’S what Wiley does with comics the editors don’t like! Hope he mixes manure with that paper so it composes better.

OMG! Who let the punsters out?!

Well Bob, you’re lucky you got a rejection letter. The trend in this day and age is simply to ignore you … if you don’t hear from us …

I prefer to burn my rejection letters in a little pile. I call it The Bonfire of the Vanities !

I wonder what JK Rowling does with her rejection letters? Does she mail copies to the writers and write on top of the contents in “magic” marker; hah han hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah (I’m on my way to the bank) hah hah hah hah hah hah? Every day must be worse than living under the cruciatus curse for those that sent her away, eh?

Cruelest rejection letter ever: “I am sitting in the smallest room in my house. Your manuscript is before me. Soon it will be behind me.”

To bury words and expiring thoughts…

Don’t forget the typewriter!

Some things The Beatles heard during their struggling years: “Sorry, boys, guitar bands are on their way out,” “You’re the worst we’ve ever heard,” and so on. Not to say that perseverance always pays off – the hard truth is that it may not. But one has to try, anyway.

Rejection letters: collect the whole set! There’s some pride in saying that you’ve been rejected by the finest publishers in the world.

On my first book, I got 37 rejections, including from Scribner’s, who ultimately published it. However, now they refuse to consider a third edition because I do not have an agent (nor did I the first two editions). Since then, they fired all their “first readers” who evaluate proposals, and charge the authors for that in the form of agent fees instead.

I guess he wrote that career path off his list. In fact, I would make book on it.

The dog looks as if he would like to make a contribution.

That is one dang neat hole. Did he put his dirt in boss Caines yard?
