Yesterday I rcvd. a rejection, from an agent I had hoped to procure...
As far as rejections go it was nice...iie; no form.... but;
"I found the story quite moving and felt that you adeptly captured ydadyada ...with poignant writing-quite an accomplishment. I delayed my response to discuss this project at length with my colleages." Signed Agent
I feel I am close but I'm missing something that I haven't put my finger on.
It's like my photography...I know I've captured the essence, before it's even developed...you just feel it. Once I took two pics for an ad campaign contest; hubby said "where are we going for summer vacation; when are you going to reserve someplace?" I told him we were going to NYC that summer, twice and I couldn't plan anything else. Of course he laughed, until the phone rang twice that week, announcing our family would be going to NYC, two times in a three week period.
Could be the forgotten SASE or the misspelled words, but unlikely...I think.
It's right in front of me and I can't grasp it... I didn't paint my book with profound, flowery, million dollar words...purposely...I'm thinking perhaps I should add some...sigh, probably not as the book doesn't justify it...
The doors been opened, now invite me in...arghhhh
In the meantime, unless I find my mistake, I am wasting a lot of good agent's time...
kimmi's done ranting now....
