a real writer. I just got my first rejection letter (email.) Yay? (It was the guy that was friends with my agent. ETA: my FILM agent. I do not have a book agent, that's who sent the rejection.) It said "we're going to pass but we wish you luck." Much nicer than "LOLOLOL, RU kidding me? USUCK." which is what I was almost expecting. :)
Stiff upper lip'd, sallying forth, and making sure I actually corrected the type-o I just found in my submission package. *head desk* And soothing my wounded spirit with some homemade pumpernickel bread.

Anyway, who wants to be one of those writers who slams out one book and immediately gets their dream agent, who sells it at auction to a major publisher for six figures and then it gets made into a movie starring Robert Downey Jr. who gets a best actor Oscar for the role???

You know what I'm finding goes well with rejection? A Bordeaux and some port-aged cheddar. Who knew? ;)
