It’s a curious notion how rejection is free.
It costs nothing to be told no. There are zero consequences to passersby doing what they’re labeled to do – pass by.
So it goes with hitchhiking or publishing a novel or booking a gig, all it takes is one person to ask you on board and the confidence begins to build.
Perhaps, though, picking yourself up, self-publishing and organizing an event to play at is more beneficial to one’s confidence than waiting to be picked.
After all, picking yourself is free too.
