Rejoice in your rejection. Pray to the gods each night that you aren't having to sit through insufferable 'workshops' under fluorescent lights with the likes of HeyIowa - honestly, darling, you hand out life lessons like a pederast with effing poprocks.
Go out and find interesting work. Emancipate yourself from the factories of mediocrity that are the MFA's. Go find the real Iowa, work as a farmhand nearby. Fight for working folks. Fuck it!
Embrace the rejection and keep writing. Read like hell. And read what you want and who you want and when you want. Do not read for trends. Read for strength, comrade.
