Hey everyone. I've been reading the boards the last week or two and have found them to be quite a comfort...seeing people go through the same (often demoralizing) process of finding an agent. I'm a long ago English major, turned sell-out lawyer, who finally took the time to actually write a novel after talking about wanting to do so forever. I've e-mailed my first batch of queries and the responses have started to trickle in: mostly form rejections but two requests for partials, so at least somebody will hopefully be reading a part of my novel. Despite reading about the process, and hearing things like the Notebook getting rejected by all but one agent, I still find myself unreasonably upset when I see a form rejection to my query. Anyway, I'm glad to have stumbled across this place!

I feel your pain. It really does help to see you're not alone. I've lost count of my rejections...
