Well, my abstract got rejected by CSWE (Council on Social Work Education) for their annual conference. The problem is that I still don't have any idea really what it is they want to see - what was I missing in this submission & what should I do differently next time. I am sure there is a method to the process, but as someone outside the process, I can't tell what it is.
Of course it's really disappointing! So I think, well, I guess I will have a little pity party for myself and then hopefully get over it. Just because it is my first submission, does not mean it will be my last. The reality is that unless I give up and never try again, I will have other rejections.
I can think of it like when I was going to be a writer and I got a rejection letter from the New Yorker. Although perhaps that isn't a good parallel, since obviously I gave that dream up!
