NEW RULE. (Thank you Bill Maher.)
No rejections are to appear in the mailbox of an aspiring writer over the weekend. Monday - Friday? Fair game. Saturday? Giant buzz killer. Today's tidy little pre-printed card from a NY agent reads: "I have reviewed your material and it is not anything I wish to work with at this time." Alrighty then.

Kim. It's great that you are getting so many rejections; really, it is. Because this means you have started the official journey toward publication.
I challenge anyone to tell me of a writer who received NO rejections before becoming a published author.
(I'm sure I could google to find out, but I'm lazy today.)
Hi Kim -- sorry about the "R" -- just keep getting that manuscript out there!
Hey Kim-
Whatever you do, don't toss your rejections, because someday they will become no more than a list of people you can say HA! to- which is strangely satisfying- trust me on this!
Anyway, I'm loving your blog, and urge you to not give up!

OK, seriously, I don't even think the postcards count as rejections. I'm being serious. Because they probably didn't even read what you sent them--they're just not taking on a ton of new clients. So chin up and keep sending out!
Hi Kim -
It'll happen in an unusual way when you don't see it coming. In the meantime, enjoy the writing.
xoxo
