Sample idea: It's someone else, not me

If the thought of receiving hundreds of rejection letters really bothers you, here's a way around it: use a pen name.

You'll still receive rejections, of course (probably), but they won't be addressed to you personally. They'll have someone else's name on them. You might even feel a little sorry for that person - he receives all those rejections when you don't receive any at all.

Once your alter ego starts to become more successful, and the rejections get rarer, you can start using your real name again.

It's just a trick of course, but your brain will respond well to little tricks like this. The pain of rejection is one step removed, and it really does feel as if it's happening to someone else.
