Rejection: How do we deal with it? (and can we ever use it in a positive way?)

It doesn't matter who you are or what level you're at, the film and TV industry feels like it's built on rejection. Every single one of us will experience it many many times. And it sucks. It hurts. It can make you question your work and your talent and your place in the world. But it's part of the process.

So with that in mind, how do we deal with the constant kick-backs? Does it ever get easier, and is there a way to turn it into something positive?

Consider this episode a safe space to have a good vent about one of the worst parts of being an emerging writer; we share some personal rejection stories, plenty of tips for overcoming those dreaded writing rejection blues and as usual, try to make us all feel a little bit less alone.
