Bummer.
As Dori (on Nemo) always says. "Just keep swimming...just keep swimming..."

Damn. I also vote for "Bummer." Sorry, GG. Onward & upward, though, yeah?  P.S. Be sure to play up the "seductive" angle when telling friends. Maybe even wear a Jennifer Beals Flashdance sweatshirt or something for comic full effect. |

Ended up getting rejections for the other two fulls... but I still have two partials and a slew of agents to query! I just status checked one of the partials today...it's been 2 1/2 months. Edits this week and then it's off to another dip into the heated pool of Query Hell!

Good luck, GG. Did you get any feedback? Anything you can do to the ms? Obviously your query is golden and so is your beginning.

JW, thanks! I had only ONE agent give me feedback and it was kind of a generic "I didn't like the ending" without any suggestions on how to fix it. But she did say she'd be open to rewrites if she "wasn't busy". Hmmm. Luckily, some QTers have come through and critiqued it and so I'm working on those edits. I'll have to see how it goes from here. OF COURSE I'll keep you guys updated! I plan on starting back up with the querying sometime next week or so....

I'd really like to find an agent who likes something close to this ending I have now...If all else fails she's first on my list of "rewrite to fit" agents. Second is the one who asked for an additional 17,000 words.

Those are actually positive signs. If they are still interested, then there is something there for sure. Keep those queries flying!

Yeah. Sometimes the saddle hurts your butt, but you get used to it.
