At present I am trying to find an agent for my first novel. I've published a novella, and some non fiction, and I know I can write competently. I'm very open to comments and criticisms that allow me to develop my work. What is driving me nuts at present is that the seven agents who have seen my work so far have commented very favourably on all aspects of my writing, and then launched into their 'but'. In each case the 'but' has been different. There is no theme to their comments, and some of them are completely contradict the others. I'm in the space where I would far rather someone tell me my work is bad than dredge up a reason, which even in context seems to make little sense. Pardon the rant. :)
