I can't decide

Not that I *have* to decide this, mind you. But I'm not sure which is harder to take: The impersonal, plain-vanilla, information-free rejection from the literary agent I queried this morning, or the impersonal, plain-vanilla, information-free rejection from the literary agent I queried 8 weeks ago.

Good thing I'm 40 and have, you know, decades of experience of other types of success under my belt, otherwise I might be getting a little down right about now.

Have you seen this article by Jenny Crusie: http://www.jennycrusie.com/for-writers/essays/rats-with-islands-how-to-survive-your-publishing-career/? It made me feel all kinds of better about a few things I've been fretting over lately.

Of course, now I am fantasizing about cabana boys in kilts.
