So this is an image from Richard Dadd's most famous work, 'The Fairy Fellers Master Stroke'. I have always loved this picture. It's on display in the Tate Gallery in Millbank. When I was young, I would wander over to it and study every detail. I was always drawn to this character, which I believe is Dadd's father, whom he killed. I have a beautiful print of the painting and it presently adorns the wall above the washing machine in the back room of our home in Malaga.
The thing is this. This character sums up how I feel right now. I have sent out a raft of queries for my MS 'Pet Food - The Starter' and so far, have received 16 rejections. Not all of them are bad?
'I enjoyed reading, it's imaginative and well written.'
'Very entertaining.'
'Even though I liked it, I have to believe 100% in the story to sell it effectively'
etc...
What can I take from this? I sometimes think that because I am based in Switzerland and Spain an agent might think I am too far away to contact? Lots of things are whizzing around my head, just like poor Dadd's father.
