When Rejection Goes ViralĀ Ā
Ā by Andrea Waltz & Richard FentonĀ
Author Suzanne Young had a book reading and signing for her brand new YA paranormal thriller, IN NIGHTFALL.Ā
Normally, a joyful occasion for any
author.
Instead, Suzanne posted a photo on Twitter of a large area in the book store - full of empty chairs.Ā
Her tweet read: "If you ever want to see a career low point, this is it. Crying my entire way home."
That's right. No one showed up. FAILURE. EMBARASSMENT.
Suzanne herself said
she was, "so ashamed to post the picture."
What she didn't know was what would happen next.
Hundreds and thousands of people were taken with her vulnerability and willingness to post.
The tweet quickly reached 8 million views and growing daily.
Thousands of replies from authors and others came in. (Some with photos
of their own empty rooms!)
She was flooded with people asking how to get a copy of the book (at one point her local B&N store was offering signed copies).
A few days later, she appeared on NBC Nightly News to discuss this viral post experience.
We applaud Suzanne's willingness to put her failure on display for all to see.
We all fail. Pretending otherwise is what perpetuates the stigma. (Which is why we shared our rejection last month!)
We are never alone in failure, it just feels that way sometimes.Ā
Worry about failing? Getting a lot of Nos? In public no less? Don't.Ā Failure can lead to the most unexpected success.Ā |

Ā One More NOtivational Quote |
"It is not rejection itself that people fear, it is the possible
consequences of rejection. Preparing to accept those consequences and viewing rejection as a learning experience that will bring you closer to success, will not only help you to conquer the fear of rejection, but help you to appreciate rejection itself."Ā - Robert Foster
