50/50

I'm up to 28 proposals sent out to agents regarding 1000 Things About Me. Half of them have responded and gently dashed my hopes against the rocks of despair. OK, well maybe not rocks but definitely course sand. And I wouldn't quite say 'dashed' but maybe something like, I don't know, 'mooshed.' Come to think of it, despair is a bit of an overstatement. But, well... whatever.
