What an excellent eye for color you have! The alcove and fireplace are turning out amazing. Warm and elegant at the same time.
Ugh, okay. You've broken the ice on the whole rejection business. There will be more to come, there always are, and that inevitability has no bearing on the quality of your work or your eventual career. You're a powerful and sensual writer who will attract an audience; there's not a doubt in my mind about that.
Unfortunately, publishing is prone to overwhelm and snap judgments, so it falls on the author to be patient. And to have the stamina of an ox. Some of the same qualities one must have in order to finish writing the novel in the first place and slog through however many revisions it subsequently takes to get it submission-ready.
Meanwhile, congratulations on taking that step and sending it out. I wish you all the success in the world.
