Abigail on Rejection

Rejection does not reflect on your worth; it is part of the path of being better as a human being
and a creator. Even with a strong foundation of mastery in a craft, it is easy to tune out or miss
things that need work. This is why feedback and direction is helpful.

Types of Feedback Offered

I give each piece at least 2 reads. The first is a big picture read, followed by closer scrutiny of the
components. Then I will tell you what I see.
