First literary rejection

My friend Kate read my book; she liked it and gave me pointers on it. I went back revised it and decided to write my query letter which I think is pretty good. I went ahead and emailed about 12 agents because as it turns out almost every good publisher doesnt accept queries unless it's submitted by a literary agent so, I decided to gather as much information about it and I emailed my query to them. A couple of hours later I got my first literary rejection which sucked but at least it wasn't that bad, the guy was nice enough to say that other opinions vary and that he wishes me luck on my search for representation. Well, I feel kind of like a real writer already...I've read about the rejections and the long search for a good agent but I feel accomplished that at least I got off my ass I did something in regards to my dream. I'm taking it easy and seeing what life guides me. It'll really be awesome of I could turn this passion of mine into a real job but I know good things dont come easy.
I'm completely over the stupid flu I had and I'm ready for some fun; tonight's karaoke and I'm thinking cowboy hat and 3d glasses :) aside from that I dont know if Linda's "boyfriend" will be...I haven't been the third wheel in a long ass time and I'm seriously not up for it tonight. I dont feel like cooking today at all. PIZZA!!
