Rejection, rejection, rejection...

This is the thread where you can tell us the that your story got rejected. You didn't want it published there anyway, right?

I've experienced a lot of rejection of my writing in the past year, most recent rejection had to do with writing for TV. It was a volunteer assignment that could have evolved into something bigger, but I was told my writing dynamics doesn't fit with the workstyle of their program. I assume it was partially because I submitted the text few months after our last meeting, but I did say that I had a lot of other obligations in the beginning of this internship and they assured me I could send the screenplay any time I want. They didn't say anything about the quality of my writing but I feel like the rejection happened because the writing wasn't good enough, as simple as that. And they didn't like any of my ideas for original TV shows and the script I was writing was like a spec script of existing show (I was given the previous scripts, list of characters, etc). I definitely wasn't the best in my studies according to my professors but was getting by with an average feedback, and I have a lot of colleagues that don't have the problem of not being able to get their ideas and texts approved, staged etc. I feel like I have a horrible writing reputation and need to change my ways if I want to see any results. Or change a profession.
