Rejection # 43

***Before you read what's posted below, please know that I wrote it within a few minutes of getting a rejection message from a hot-shot literary agent in New York. Things are fine. I am lucky to have what I already have. The book is still up for an award and there is something else big on the way for sure. I was just hoping for a big break-through.

And now, my moody post...





I'm an aspiring novelist. I'm working constantly to make my books successful. There are usually several opportunities being simultaneously explored with my work to broaden their chances of "making it."

Today I received news that RATED F was rejected for what could have been a huge break. I'm trying to pretend like it doesn't depress me and that every best selling author goes through tons of rejections. But it still sucks and it still bums me out.

There are still two other pending situations with the book, but I hate it when they fall through. On the bright side these two other opportunities are still looking good.

But damn. When will I ever see this thing take off?
