Shaun Usher, who curates the brilliant Letters of Note blog, which gathers all sorts of fascinating correspondence, postcards, memos,faxes and telegrams, has published a wonderfully amusing letter from the late, great John D. MacDonald. The novelist referenced his early history as an aspiring writer in a satirical rejection letter to magazine editiors who solicited him for stories to publish.

This is for those of us with a desk drawer full of rejection letters.

Usher also edits the terrific blog Letterheady, which is, as the package indicates, all about letterheads.
