Greetings! New member

[Ian Priestley]

Just joined Litopia. Short story writer from Britain living in Tokyo. Ended 2016 with a spate of rejections, but what the hell, another year!

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Hello Ah, those adorable little rejections. May this be your year. What kind of short stories?

 

[Marc Joan]

Welcome! I envy you your access to sushi

 

[TonyP]

Hi Ian. I'm a fledgling too, just joined earlier this week. Welcome! What are you hoping for here?

 

[Paul Whybrow]

Welcome to the Colony, Ian. Rejection messages are medals that writers repurpose into armour, the better to protect their hides in preparation for more rejections!

Welcome to the colony, it's a captivating canopy.

Hello Ah, those adorable little rejections. May this be your year. What kind of short stories?

No particular genre, though quite a few are travel related. Japan is a source of inspiration. Living in a culture where things are quite different makes you observant and when I go back to Britain I always feel like I am looking in from outside, which is good for writing.

I think just to share experiences, writing markets, not feel like I am the only one struggling to get published.

Warm welcome to you.

Welcome. Rejections are the most constant companion of a writing life - at least they are mine.

 

[Quillwitch]

Welcome, there is always room for one more.

 

[KG Christopher]

Welcome Ian and lets hope 2017 is a better year for all of us.

 

[Robinne Weiss]

Welcome Ian! I like to think of rejections as proof you've been writing.
