Got 2 rejections on the fifth, less than 24 hours after submission. More exciting and terrifying than disappointing, as most of what people say gives me the impression querying agents is not a 24-hour-timetable activity. I understand why I'd be rejected and can't really find the energy or stubbornness to take it personally!
But -- Now, I've had a request for a partial manuscript and a synopsis! Just the first step and it could still be a rejection later - but duuuuuuuuude. Too excited to type properly right now and it's awesome.
