Did you know Stephen King got rejected so many times that he actually threw <i>Carrie</i> in the trash? Yup, then his wife pulled it out of the garbage, made him submit it one more time, and he got accepted! :)The Magic Violinisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889060820055920735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739533234250181729.post-80246519838920571112013-10-02T12:48:36.611-04:002013-10-02T12:48:36.611-04:00Jimmy, I kind of wonder if she knows Kate is talen...Jimmy, I kind of wonder if she knows Kate is talented and WILL be published, but just thinks now isn't the time or that that isn't the book. Wouldn't it be cool if she were to accept something of Kate's and say, "THAT's the ticket!" like she's been waiting for just the right thing all along? <br /><br />I'm an idealist. I often wonder whether or not that's a good thing.

That was very kind of her and has lovely, encouraging things to say to you. <br /><br />I bet part of her taking the time to write all that is that she full well knows that you're getting published someday and not only wants to encourage you, but also be part of your publishing history as the first agent to write you a personal rejection that documents that she recognizes your talent! :) Super exciting, TMV! So happy for you! You really ARE driven with this! Boquinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365252326911270689noreply@blogger.com
