Depressing

It was a fairly bad week overall, with some critical software going belly up and a lot of mess involving translations. But it was just capped off with a rejection from an agent who had requested a full manuscript and I'd been particularly hopeful about. She really liked the style, but thinks steampunk in general is a hard sell right now, and the book is too steampunky for romance and too romance for SFF.

Aside from that being depressing in itself, I'm struggling with the current book already, and it's...going to have a really similar problem. And a part of me wants to just fling up my hands and give up. I probably won't, probably, but it's just a really bad way to cap off a fairly miserable week.
