Rejection Letters
July 23rd 2007 14:45
Good morning everyone,
Hope everybody had a great weekend. This past Saturday, I received my first rejection letter from an agent. I guess it is a rite of passage. While I was expecting it, it is still mildly disappointing. Hopefully, in the future I will have some success and I can frame this one. At least this one was nicely written, but I'm sure it is the standard. You know, not being right for their agency, but encouraging me to try other agents. I need to send out a bunch more query letters now, since I only sent to around 5 places. I was trying 5 places at a time and now that I got one rejection, I will send to another 5 places. I am still working on a book proposal and finishing up my children's book. It seems that I am writing from morning until night. Thankfully, I enjoy it, but it is very time consuming. Between that and now taking my online courses for school, I never leave this computer. Oh well, there are probably worse things that I can do.
I am getting very worried about the yankees. I have a bad feeling that that they are going to make the playoffs. It seems that right now, they are palying one bottom feeder after another. I wish they would play some good team. My only hope, is that they are older and get tired out right and can't make it to the finish line. I was waiting and looking forward to a yankee free October, so I can just enjoy the playoffs. I won't watch any game w/ the yanks in it, and I love baseball. If they're in it, I can't enjoy the games. I think that they buy pennants and I hate that type of baseball. I desperately want a salary cap, and as I have said many times before, if the yanks came back to the pack and even the payroll of the 2nd highest team, the Red Sox, I don't think the yanks would evn be competing. They don't know how to balance a payroll, with them it is just buy the biggest superstar and that's it. Don't get me wrong, I love when it doesn't work and they fall on their face, but I think that they are not playing with a fair hand. Baseball must change. I will get into another day, what I think about yankee fans, but it is too long for now. Anyway, on to other things. Hope you all have a great day.
Later,
Jonathan
