You're welcome Jody. I feel you--harder to reframe rejections of the full ms if only because we allowed our hopes to soar. As you should! Getting eyes on your ms is exactly what you need to be doing, so good for you! May all these tips see you through to the agent you were meant to find.

And I agree with what you say about continuing to write - it has lifted my spirits over a series of rejection letters on my last project. What really hit me in the gut worst of all was not the query rejections, but the one that came after an agent read my full work. With the query, I could say, "I need to get better at writing a query letter." Having a full work "rejected" is like standing in front of a crowd during a break-up (you know, "it's not you, it's me..."). Ha! Your words were beautiful ones to have before me at just the right time. Thank you! 🙂 -jody
