Submission Apocalypse: Day 3
And so, Agent Y rejected my partial yesterday. Truth is, I had a feeling it was a rejection when I received the SASE, that I avoided opening it until later in the evening. It was a blow, but not a catastrophic meltdown which led me to curl up into a ball and suck on my thumb in my room. I have accepted that, just because I garner partial/full requests, they will be rejected. It is the only thing keeping me sane at this point.
I still have my full out to Agent X and haven't heard anything else on the 7 (maybe 8?) queries that are floating out in cyberspace. Agent X's email stated to give her between 1 to 2 months before following up. I have yet to hit the one month mark, so there we go. I am adding to my list of a few more agents to query in the coming weeks. Also I am writing, writing, writing!
In conclusion, I am disappointed in the rejection, but not to the point of sending Agent Y an email chastising her for not understanding my vision. See, there is a bright side!
