Rejectees Rejoice

stonesl1

The Rejection Generator has gone beyond even what we imagined it could accomplish. It is helping people examine their deepest motivations and set new directions for their lives.

Thank you for your help. I have been feeling this way as a writer for years and having a print confirmation of it allows me to move on with my life so that I can now study how to make wicker furniture.

Fiction just won’t pay the bills, but wicker they say is a growth industry.

Sincerely,

Matthew Brent Jackson

Congratulations, Brent on this exciting new direction in your life! (Read what may be Brent’s farewell to the literary life, an essay titled “The Missouri Exile.“)

Commenters on Twitter have also reported great efficacy.

“I haven’t had this much fun since the invention of the printing press…”

“Oh this is so great… Putting the fun into rejection. Yes!”

“The Rejection Generator should be required for all writers…”

“I just rejected myself as the Southern Gentleman. GENIUS.”

“About time something like this was invented. LOL”

Sadly, we have to report to you that Sylvester Stonesman, one of the co-creators of The Rejection Generator, has let all of this go to his head. He spent the last $500 dollars in his checking account on an iPad so that he could easily show the website to strangers. He has been going to coffee shops and other places with free wifi and accosting anyone who will stop to listen to him. He tries to make people read all seven letters that are available at that time and then calls into headquarters to ask us to jog the machinery and rotate letters. We always ask him where he is this time, but he doesn’t answer. If you see him, please let us know. His wife is becoming worried and tells us he has a lot of chores backing up. She has hinted that if he doesn’t do them, she will expect us to come over and mow the lawn, etc., since it was our project that took him away. Please let us know. He’s wearing a grey sport coat, yellow shirt, and jeans.
