Conference

One word describes the conference - Are you ready? It SUCKED

I was told my writing is good, but the novel is not.
Yes, I am upset about that but I'm more upset that the agent and publisher tore several writer's works to pieces. Granted, the work was lame, but do you really have to be rude about it? I guess these people have never heard of tact and grace.
 There are several ways to criticize without being rude.  I will not give up, the book will be published, it just might not be my first book published --- what does mean?  Yes, I am actually in the process of writing another book - this time a middle grade sweet book about a girl and her grandmother. It's fun and light, we will see WHEN it gets published... I won't give up...
