“Rejection,” a word that often is heard/said throughout the writing community. But what if we changed the language of “rejection” to “pass”? And moved towards a cultural understanding of what the passes truly are, a “not now” or a “not for me,” instead of a personal rejection of ourselves/our work? In this episode, Vicky Weber (Agent/Author) and Danielle Render Turmaud (Author/Therapist/Host) explore the benefits of creators and industry professionals shifting the language we use around passes.
