A NEW SKEW

First this morning...
I'd like to thank...
My followers for following me...
And of those ...
Those who have recommended my blog.
Seems I've been oblivious...
With the social networking going on, on twitter...
On my behalf.
Second, I'd like to thank...
The agent that rejected me yesterday...
Because you know what?
It was a nice rejection!
"You seem to be a very capable writer with a strong voice,
but I don't often handle novels like this so really worry I'm
not the right choice for you,"
Capable writer? Strong voice?
Oh yeah! I'll take that rejection as a positive!
And so, as I send out more query letters...
I'll feel ever so much more confident...
That my manuscript will eventually...
Match up with the right agent.
And third, and last...
My perspective on rejection...
Although this process if querying feels brutal...
It's nothing compared to the rejections from auditions...
That I used to subject myself to weekly...
When I was a full-time on-camera talent...
And I stood in front of directors and producers...
Reciting lines and acting my little heart out...
Vying with dozens of other talents for the same gig.
At least with querying...
I can sit in my comfy chair, in my comfy clothes...
Sans make-up and done-up hair.
So? 
Ever have a job that was worse than getting rejections?


Always, Em-Musing
