So, it may have been a rejection email, but it still counts. Received a reply from an agent today that she was passing on the MS. Word count is too low. It's not something I haven't heard before. It looks like I really need to take a look at it, and add some additional scenes, or a sub-plot, to beef up the word count.
I'm surprised that the rejection didn't sting. Perhaps it was because the agent let me down gently. Maybe, deep down, I know it still needs work. I think the criticism I've received from Query Kombat helped open my eyes to some of the MS's weaknesses.
This just mean I need to work harder and whip this thing into shape before I send out any additional queries. I'm so ready to do this.
