Hmmm, I think I'd have the same problem you have with the emoticons though, since I don't get angry really. And I agree--I received one personalized rejection that was so nice I almost wanted to frame it!Tiana Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568247032288076461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521674859812330018.post-53712961279388045282011-05-05T08:15:46.825-04:002011-05-05T08:15:46.825-04:00smart Erinn, very smart.

When I was querying, I never got angry about a rejection. I think the closest I came to it was when an agent had my full for quite a long time, and then just rejected it with just a brief sentence. Either way, I know how busy agents are--and I still love Querytracker. :)Pam Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872183610393667619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521674859812330018.post-74932374195964964202011-05-04T08:41:52.799-04:002011-05-04T08:41:52.799-04:00Yeah, I agree, I don't like the angry face eit...Yeah, I agree, I don't like the angry face either.

But other than that, I am sad and hurt instead of angry and I wish the face was a little more despondent instead of all red and whatnot. That last piece of advice you gave is key, if you keep getting rejections work on a new project, or better yet- LOOK at your WRITING- maybe that's where the rejections are coming from. I had to do this with IN LIMBO (my historical). After getting three rejections on fulls, I got smart and re-wrote the entire novel.
