Rejections, Reviews, and Mean People

by Linda Mercury

Overview

Everyone in the world has had an encounter with a person who said something nasty about a project. Desolate, we wander, asking, "How do I get a thicker skin?"

 

I'm here to say that you don't need a thicker skin. Your thin skin is a gift. Thin skin is why we have a five day work week, why we have child labor laws, and the Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals. Thin skin means you see something wrong and you go fix it. It is what allows us to live with passion and the power to change the world. Our thin skin is what gives our dreams power, emotion, and importance. Our concern for the state of the world and each other is the greatest motivator and the foundation of all we do.

 

But. Rejections still hurt. Life is hard and it comes at you fast. This booklet has real-world, concrete steps you can use to cope with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

About the Author

Hello! I'm Linda Mercury, a writer and creator of really unusual fictional worlds. More than anything, I care about compassion, connection, and intimacy. Prior to becoming a writer, I used to be a librarian, historian, and professional clown (but not all at once).

But then, something happened: September 11, 2001. After the attacks, I felt great sadness and even greater determination. I knew there had to be a better way to bring people together, make good times happen, and transmit the values of love and caring.

So I started my research. I read a lot, I wrote a lot. Now, seven books later...here I am.

Today, my life's work is to share what I know about love, history, and passion with as many people as I possibly can. Sometimes, my work looks like very sexy paranormal romance novels. Other times, it is blog posts on history, feminism, and intercultural understanding.

Ultimately, all of my work is about coming together. Because life is way better when people tell each other the truth of who they are.
