I mean response we SHOULD be patting ourselves on the back (esp. the contortionists) and convincing our brain that this is a GOOD rejection. Like tough love perhaps.

The agent took the time to compliment my writing and wish me luck in a very personal way, and this alone - once I pick myself back up - will charge my batteries for the next round. Thank you agent, for being aware, as Debs says, of just how much power you hold in your pen and for wielding it kindly.Kathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-46591104432145209462010-12-08T19:25:02.095+00:002010-12-08T19:25:02.095+00:00I reckon everyone else is shopping at Brent Cross....I reckon everyone else is shopping at Brent Cross. or at least, the whole BLOODY WORLD was there today when I went!Caroline Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708248040141519582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-63518427449161354902010-12-08T19:17:25.479+00:002010-12-08T19:17:25.479+00:00lol Rod (as the youngsters say)!
