Rejection, Finally!

Last week’s free time was consumed with building a website for my sister’s small business she debuted at the Hagerstown Farmer’s Market. I was lucky enough to make the trip up and be there for her first one. She got an overwhelming response of positive feedback and confirmation to look legit.

Kell’s Kitchen got launched after researching which options would work best for her (shoutout to WP for $4 a month payment options) and then we designed business cards and set up an Instagram account. Then, I got whammed with a whack sinus infection that took me out for the last five days.

My ears popped and fizzed like pop rocks for three days. Pollen is one helluva weed.

Anyways! I got my first rejection in awhile. The ones from January are most likely rejecting me in silence but this women was pretty quick. She was the latest I wrote to, her email read:

Dear Shannon,

Thank you for your query. I appreciate the opportunity to consider DON’T FORGET TO TIP YOUR WAITRESS for possible representation, but I’m not the right agent for it. Of course this is only one response, and tastes vary widely among agents. I wish you the best of luck finding the right home for your work.

Sincerely,

Katie Grimm

Short and sweet. On to the next fam. This morning I submitted to a person with the last name Lyra and made a joke about it being a circus apparatus and her branding would be too easy if they needed a career change. May not have been the best idea but maybe she’ll have a chuckle. You never know what’ll draw people in, haha.

Hope you have a fabulous week, friends!

Byeeeeee.
