Secret Agent Speaks

The Secret Agent contest isn’t over yet, but s/he’s left comments on about half the entries already, including mine. Based on the agent’s lackluster response, I don’t think I can expect to win any invites to send a full.

I can only hope this agent wasn’t one of those on my short list.

The agent passed on a few entries I liked, but also expressed interest in one I liked. (The pirate story.)

Whenever I receive a rejection my inclination is to do the following:

1. Go back and try to improve and strengthen the writing. That’s probably a good reaction.

2. Go over my short list of agents, including the ones who still have a partial or a full.
