Some are not so nice. I, personally, like the rejections that give advice or say that they see me as an up and coming writer, but they can't use my story at this time. There are harsh ones that say your piece is "trite".Trite [trahyt]
-adjective, trit·er, trit·est.
1. lacking in freshness or effectiveness because of constant use or excessive repetition; hackneyed; stale: the trite phrases in his letter.
2. characterized by hackneyed expressions, ideas, etc.: The commencement address was trite and endlessly long.
3. Archaic . rubbed or worn by use.
Rejection is a part of life, especially the writing life. Even the greats have been rejected, so keep this in mind when you get that rejection notice.
What do you do with your rejections?

Why You Are Receiving Rejections

I try not to think to much about rejections. Sometimes, when reading the piece after a while, I understand why it was rejected. But I don't give too much about the words in the rejection - most of it are standard letters (which is easy to understand, taken into consideration how many submissions are sent), and I hardly ever find anything of worth in there for me.
