Not for him, but...

So I sent out a query today, plus five pages, to an agent. I didn't expect him to get back so soon, but he did. The first line was a standard, "This isn't right for me," but the next line was something I normally didn't see. He said, "You might try (insert name of agency)?" I thought this was exciting. I mean, maybe that means he at least saw some merit in my work, right? Maybe that's a naive way of looking at it, and he was just being nice. Anyway, I did send a submission that agency, and I'm still waiting for a reply, but if he thinks this agency might be a good fit, that gives me some hope. Oops. I probably shouldn't be hopeful.

Anyway, this was a good rejection as far as rejection goes!
