We've put so much into it that when you hear crickets, when there is tumbleweed rolling through your inbox, you do start to question yourself.

And this is entirely normal.

And this is why the more you do it, the easier it becomes at handling the fact that you've not had any feedback.

Because even if a journalist replies, it's either going to be a yes or it's going to be a no.

If you want to be featured in a women's monthly magazine, their timeframes are six months in advance.

Nothing is going to change that.

So there's no point fighting it.

There's no point trying to change it.

It's never going to change.

You just have to accept it and see what else you can do in the meantime.
