I just recieved this rejection and am not quite sure whether to be happy or sad:
Dear Charles,
Thank you for sending me your materials, which I have now read. I think you are a good writer, but I did not feel enthusiastic enough about your manuscript to represent it, and I am therefore unable to offer literary representation at this time.
Clearly having an agent, and a good one at that, tell you that you're a good writer should make anyone happy. However, in the same sentence the agent says he isn't enthusiastic about my work. I'm not sure if I should be encouraged or discouraged. I'm sure someone else out there has gotten a similar rejection, if anyone has were you happy or not?
