Appreciate Peer Reviewers (even Reviewer 2 
) theyâre just as disappointed when your work gets rejected. As an author, I am frustrated with contradicting reviews, but I am also a Peer Reviewer; the differences in analysis are valid

Appreciate Editors.
Their decision is based on Peer Review feedback that will either disappoint an author, propel one to restructure, or make their day
One doesnât have to be an editor to appreciate this arduous task.

Iâve published 8 articles. 3 more on the way. So what. Thatâs just numbers. Iâm truly humbled each time I see âacceptedâ like itâs the first

Iâve been rejected a great deal
Iâll probably be rejected more.
I hit pause on the manuscript. I reflect on my intent, my approach. Often I start a new manuscript before I revise the rejected one. Thereâs a sort of clarity in the new.

Know your target audience.
This may determine the appropriate (non predatory) journal
Iâve been challenged by people why Iâve chosen mainstream journals. My answer âthatâs where the target audience is.â Authorâs choice is valid.

Support fellow authors.
People have odd responses when you tell them youâre published/rejected. Itâs all good. Let that

The wait is categorically indeterminate. Iâve either waited 1 week or 8 months and I have definitely followed up (respectfully, not in a stalking âwhat the heck?!â way

Final thoughts:
If it wasnât for a Peer Reviewer back in 2016 who perhaps saw something of worth others wanted to trash, I would not be published
Be patient with yourself.
Be patient with the process
Observe rejection...donât make it final
