Same, Same

Here are rejection form letters from two assistants at two separate literary agencies.

One says: "In this competitive climate I must be completely enthusiastic to take on a new writer. I wish you the best in your pursuit of enthusiastic representation."

The other says: "In this very competitive market, we are simply not enthusiastic enough about our ability to sell this work to offer you representation. We wish you the best of luck placing this successfully."

Clearly they went to the same school of competitive market enthusiasm.
