On rejection

I saw a post saying you shouldn't blog about the number of rejections you've had. 

Because agents might see you've been rejected, and doubt their own judgement.

I don't want to work with an agent who makes that mistake - and also, I'm trusting that agents are smart enough to know that I could have been rejected for any number of reasons, including a different query letter.

Also, I got my first non-rejection today.  Of sorts.  It was an email saying the agent had decided to stop working as an agent.  That's not a rejection.

I mean yes, you could look at it and say maybe my query letter was so bad it made her throw in the towel...

Onwards and upwards!
