Another rejection in the ol' inbox. This one came from someone I'll call BigName!Agent. It was a very polite, personal reply. I was surprised she got back to me so soon.
In the agent's defense, she's also moving towards a more literary/urban fantasy client list and she's one of those agents who's so big in the industry that I think you'd pretty much need to have a last name like Hamilton or Rowling to get on her list.
*shrug*. You shoot the moon, and sometimes you hit it. Sometimes you don't.
The number of rejections now rounds out to a nice even four, with two agents still giving me a definite "maybe", and the jury is still out on the rest.
Dinner must be made, and new stories must be outlined even if I have to drag the outline out of my brain with steel cables and a sturdy resolve.
