More query angst

As you can guess from the icon and subject line, this isn't gonna be the happy post where I announce something good. One day, I'll make that post. One day. Just not this day.

Today I found a few more agents to query to and fired off emails to them, which resulted in me getting a rejection letter back thirty minutes later.

And it was a very snarky rejection and kind of unprofessional. Guess I caught somebody on a bad day. Sheesh. I mean, they couldn't even stick with the standard "Sorry, I'm not the right agent for this project" or a form letter and be done with it. Nope, they had to go for the personal touch.

So, the query score card stands at:

Rejections - 2

Requests - 0

Still Pending - 15

Genre ramblings

Author N.K. Jemisin on the urban fantasy trend in SF/F literature.

While I think the article is well written, I don't yet if I agree or disagree about it. I don't know if the situation she describes concerning the market expansion and then contraction of the horror genre is completely analogous to urban fantasy.

( My thoughts on the article. Complete with me blathering on like I actually know something. )
