At some point in human Life, He/she must have felt at the top of the world, basking in the glory of their works and feeling like the victor that they are.
My own proudest moment would be when my story got first got featured in a journal.

Writing, for me, has always being a way to air my thoughts but it gets boring when no one seems to be interested in thoughts. Well, that was what I thought.

Sending out pitches after pitches, it was as if they all didn't bother to read 'em before sending a rejection letter.
These rejection letters came in various tones. Some were sympathetic, apologizing for having to pass such a beautiful piece. Some just said they have no place for it. While some never reply.
When I finally got that acceptance letter, I was so elated and proud of my writing skill for the first time since I started submitting pitches to Journals and magazines.

Although I have gone on to get published in more journals and even become part of the editorial board of a journal, I still can't forget how that first acceptance made me feel.
