Tough Enough?
5Oct2007 Filed under: Raine's Posts Author: Raine
When I first started participating in online writers’ support groups, one of the first things I ever heard was
YOU MUST HAVE A THICK SKIN FOR THIS BUSINESS.
And once I started submitting, I quickly learned this was true. 
Have I developed an invulnerable hide? No. But I don’t take the slings and arrows of the business QUITE as much to heart as I used to. And I’m afraid that for me, at least, having my defensive force-field constantly at the ready sometimes take a little away from the joy of anticipation.
But that’s another blog…
On the following scale, how tough are you as far as rejections, criticism of your work, or life in general?
1) Soap Bubble
2) Eggshell
3) Acrylic fingernails
4) Child-proof medicine cap
5) Titanium motorcycle helmet and steel-toed shitkickers
6) Biohazard suit
7) Bulletproof vest
Rhinoceros
9) Armored Hummer with ballistic glass and run flat tires
10) M1 Abrams tank with missle countermeasure device and anti-personnel rounds.
