Agent news :)

Not gonna call it good, but can't call it bad, either. Actually I'm quite pleased. So that rad agent I queried decided that she wasn't the one to rep my novel. I had a feeling, because last week she mentioned in her Twitter that there were certain things in novels that she felt she couldn't rep, such as zombies (and mine has, well sorta robo-zombies.) She also felt that the world-building was too abstract. That's definitely something to keep in mind.

What she also said though, is that she thinks I'm a wonderful writer (that's an exact quote!) and she's sure that eventually I'll find a different agent who will really like what I do.

Meantime, I'm definitely going to go back over the whole manuscript with her words in mind, to see if I can make the world-building somewhat richer.

Still.

WONDERFUL WRITER. A LITERARY AGENT SAID THAT TO ME. :D

I have a good query letter, and the confidence that an actual agent thinks I have what it takes. I'll get there, I swear. I guess it's just not the right situation yet, and that's fine. Still, I can't help grinning like a freak tonight, just because she said that. ^____^

That's a huge positive to take away. Yay!
