And they complimented my writing! :) The short story was rejected on the basis of the ending. I'm not sure if I'm up to changing it, but for now I'm basking in the strange bittersweet feeling of being reluctantly rejected.

And welcome back! I was just wondering yesterday why you'd been away but it looks like you've been in Italy. Luckeeeeee.

Go you! I got my first personalized rejection yesterday on a partial. It actually made me feel pretty bad =/ But it's great that an agent read as far as the end.. endings are VERY subjective and I'm confident you'll find an agent who likes your ending, or believes enough in your story to negotiate changes with you.

Rejections suck. Personalized rejection help somewhat...keep on keeping on, sweetie!

Yes, I agree with everyone else. Congrats on getting personalized rejections. It sounds like you're getting close.
