A positive rejection for once!

Provrb1810meggy · Jun 3, 2007

After so many rejections calling my MC "unsympathetic," I started to think that nobody would like the character. This latest reaction went as far to say that my MC was "vivid and sympathetic," something I haven't heard anyone describe the MC yet!

Unfortunately, they weren't passionate enough to request more.

Still, this gives me hope that if one person thinks my MC is sympathetic, maybe another will follow!

IT IS STILL AWESOME, MEGAN!!!

:snoopy:

And fwiw, I think Bianca is sympathetic too.

Hang in there.....I know the feeling.

As a number of my rejection letters have stated, "this is a very subjective business." Keep sending it out.

that's fantastic to hear...what great validation! may the next agent fall in love with your MC *and* your prose!

This says that the unsympathetic thing is, in fact, a matter of taste. Keep sending out those queries. I am very impressed by your persistence.

The best of luck with the next sub.... :Hug2:

Keep sending it out! :Hug2:

That's encouraging!

Anything different about this particular agent, the search criteria you used, anything like that?

Hold onto that encouraging rejection. We writers need all the affirmation we can get.

That was a nice about-face reaction. Just goes to show how personal tastes can differ in this biz.
