And that's a necessary quality needed to succeed at the writing game.

I had gotten so many rejections that I started to expect them, which isn't a healthy outlook but it did help to soften the blow when I did get a rejection and also made getting a rare acceptance sweeter.<br /><br />Best of luck to you, Kelly! You'll find another agent.

But I'm trying to focus on the positives. I got a full request on the second query I sent. But while the first query was a polite pass, it still stung. I keep telling myself to cross my fingers over the full request and keep querying with that positive mojo.Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-60578554106482166212013-12-02T23:22:49.466-05:002013-12-02T23:22:49.466-05:00Thanks for the encouragement.
