This incorporates the gross physical sensation plus the distress over trying to get smashed banana out of carpet with total fury at the adorable four year old who explained that she was feeding the dog (also not allowed in that room) her breakfast in there because the dog looked hungry.<br /><br />And: having the lady waxing your eyebrows ask if you also want her way your mustache.

(The link is at the bottom of this comment)<br /><br />I smiled when I saw it. I was eighteen and just starting in the real world with my writing and I was competing against people from eighteen until the age of thirty in this competition. I felt great to know that my work was actually being acknowledged. <br /><br />And you know what happened the next week? <br /><br />I was offered to write for a magazine and a website. So, my work is not for everyone. Like Chuck Palahniuk says, "You can't satisfy every reader out there." There will be people who absolutely hate your work and others who say that your work changed their lives. So, don't let it get you down. Write on!<br /><br />The link I was talking about:<br /><br />http://studentwritersmind.blogspot.com/2010/05/infinite-ladder.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-73114566049350043182010-06-01T22:41:15.314-07:002010-06-01T22:41:15.314-07:00Not all of these have happened to me.

If an agent takes the time to read your whole book and won't take a minute to write something personal--"loved the characters; plot was too thin for me," or something like that, it's just mean. For one thing, you've probably gone through months of waiting before they get to reading it, and then to get such a nothing let-down--it's like breaking up by text: Lazy and creepy and devoid of empathy.Anne R.
