I just got the sweetest note from an agent turning my book down. Said it sounded "incredibly good." Apparently he just sold an airship trilogy by someone else after a really long search, and he's all airshipped out. He closed by asking me if I was getting lots of agents asking to read, and saying he'd think I would be and that he was rooting for me.
Arrrrgh so close. So frustrating. But at the same time, it was really, really nice of him--he didn't have to take the time to write at all. Now I just want to write him something he would like just because I want to work with him.
Sigh.

And while the "nice human" is good for giving one hope about our species during the trying times of election season, the "thought highly of your book" is particularly promising. Good luck in the next go-round!
