Well, this morning I finally, finally, finally got a response from the agent that's had my partial since January. I won't go into detail, but I think it's fair to say that I won't be hitting the road for my book tour any time soon. Okay, I will go into a tiny bit of detail, because I actually find it fairly amusing. I received a form rejection for a non-fiction book proposal. Ummm...yeah...that's not what I sent you. I can only imagine there's some brainiac out there who sent a proposal for a non-fiction book about the desperate plight of the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat who received a rejection saying, "thank you for your hilarious and poignant insights into the life of a thirty-something".
The funny thing is that I'm relieved. I'm not sure this particular "relationship" would have worked out. I usually like someone I work with to actually pay attention to what I do (just a little bit, at least.)

Hi Dollface,
so I'm interested in your rejection. You sent out an unfinished manuscript? I'm the new kid on the block but I thought as a new writer I had to only send out a polished completed one. If I'm wrong then spank me and I'll be sending mine out too. (perhaps we shold chat on email?)
I'm with you on the the 'not just a mom erk! bit too.

have a good one
Argh. Publishing seems designed to kick your soul around. Hang in there.
And you want an agent who LOVES your work. And stays in touch. That would be a critical thing.
