Well, I just got a rejection on a full. The agent admitted the writing was great, the opening & premise drew her in, but she would have liked more vivid description. She then admitted it was a hard call.
I guess that's a small concession.
Ugh.

I sometimes miss the days when all a writer had to do was write. No social media to keep up with. No Query Manager forms to labor through. No juggling various platforms and impressing agents with followers. Just write and submit. That's it.

I've heard the saying "If you write, you're a writer," but it's not that cut & dry. You are also a writer if you daydream, read, people watch, step back & do self-care. It's all a part of nurturing your gift & making your writing the best it can be.
