O site Stoneslide Corrective bolou algo muito interessante para autores que estão prontos a enviar seus livros para serem aprovados (ou não) pelas editoras: um gerador de rejeições! A idéia é ir se preparando pro pior. De acordo com os caras, é psicologicamente provado que após experienciar dor as pessoas ficam com menos medo no futuro. E é aí que treinar ser rejeitado – de uma forma divertida – entra. Tenta aí!
No site você também pode escolher o estilo da rejeição que quer ter: desde a destruidora, passando por bons modos e até formas antiquadas de dizer “não, não vamos publicar seu livro”. Você coloca seu email no primeiro campo e confirma que não é um robô no segundo e pronto, em breve vai receber na sua caixa de entrada uma mensagem nada animadora.
Fiz um teste com uma delas e recebi:
Querido Autor,
Se tivessemos a verba, a gente contrataria o pessoal que faz a limpeza de tóxicos em sites do Superfund para visitar seu escritório e expurgar toda evidência de sua tentativa de escrita. Talvez podemos contratar um agente federal. Deixaremos você saber.Atensiosamente,
Os Editores
OUTCH!
E aí, o que acham? O que deu o seu?

Eu coloquei Destruidora e recebi:
Dear Writer,
I regret to say that we cannot use the piece you have submitted. There are many potential reasons for this: we are looking for very particular subject matter; we are overstocked right now; we were drunk when we read it. This is not a judgment of you. It does not mean you are a bad writer.
Of course, you probably are a bad writer. You’re probably so bad you can’t finish this sentence: “My mama wears _____.” The vast majority of people who think of themselves as writers are actually bad writers. They just don’t know it. Nonetheless, this one rejection doesn’t necessarily mean that you are bad. But you probably are.
And the odds are that you are immoral and lazy as well. We don’t mean to be harsh. We’re talking about the percentages here.

Ri muito com “nós estavamos bêbados quando lemos”.

Dear Writer,
Great stories are great because they shine a light on the darkness that shrouds our existence. Your writing illuminated something for us and you are to be commended for that. Unfortunately we cannot share this light with any future readers; the light that came from your carefully wrought manuscript resulted from the match our slush pile reader held to one corner that subsequently caused it to burn in a bright display of flame in the metal wastebasket reserved for just such efforts. You created light. We toasted a few marshmallows over its orange glow. They were good–toasty on the outside, melty on the inside. Be comforted, gentle writer, and know that your work was not done in vain. Our marshmallows await your future efforts.
Sincerely,
Fernanda Freire postado recentemente…Booktrailer de P.S. Eu te Amo
Dear Writer,
This piece is amazing. We were utterly blown away reading it. We laughed and cried at the same time, creating a strange gasping noise that went on so long our neighbors called an ambulance. That’s how powerful your writing is.
We’d just like to see one change: Could you make the narrator an eighty-year-old grandmother who hears about the story while waiting for gall bladder surgery via a phone call from her goddaughter who only speaks Dutch and Mandarin? That would really pull it all together.
Regards,
The Editors

Dear Writer,
