Reframe A Rejection Letter Into A Revision Plan
An agent or journal said no and included a few lines of feedback that you have now read eleven times without knowing what to do with them. This separates genuine craft notes from standard boilerplate, then turns whatever is useful into a specific action for your next draft. For writers who want to feel useful again within the hour.
<context>

**Reframe the rejection as a working revision plan:**

3. Turn each problem statement into one concrete action for the next draft
4. Note anything in the feedback worth ignoring, and why
</task>
