Self-Care Sunday: The Importance Of Pushing Through Rejection (15 Pics)

Today’s Self-Care Sunday post is brought to you by cartoonist @drewdernavich. He speaks about the importance of dealing with rejection and pushing through.

“Before I started submitting digital sketches to @newyorkermag a few years ago, I was doing them the old-school way: Sharpie on paper. But that takes up too much space, so I’m cleaning house. Here is the pile of ideas that got published vs. the ones that got rejected. And in multiple views so you can see the actual ratio. Cruel business, my friends. I’m still generating a lot of crappy rejected ideas, they’re just in digital form now!”
