So...the full got rejected. In a very nice, polite way, but still.
Would appreciate some tips on how not to waste too much time crying into my beer, because I have work I want to get done in spite of this.
I am remembering that a year ago I was afraid to show it to ANYBODY, and here I sent it out to a total stranger. So...yay for perseverance, I guess? Blah.
Well, first off
. I'm sorry that you're full got rejected, Liz. However, that's just one, or at least a few. What I'm trying to say is that it's not a rejection from
every single agent in the known universe. Okay, that's an exaggeration but you know what I mean. You can still keep trying and you should still keep trying. Just because one said doesn't mean they
all will. But that's basically what everyone else said.
Second, think of the positives and the progress you have made: 1. You started a story, 2. You finished it, 3. You polished it and stuck with it, 4. You sent it off. That's pretty awesome. I don't care what anyone says.
So, the best advice I would say is...eat some chocolate, maybe drink some nice tea, and then try again.
