Oops! Misread the 'sense of hope' question - didn't read the 'unlikely' bit.

So, something 'unlikely'...That's a tough one. The things that give me any hope at all are pretty basic, obvious things. Sorry :-/

In your place, I might take a sense of hope from a well-written personalized rejection slip, as in the long run it's one more clue that eventually you'll sell a novel.

Yes, that would be a good and apt one for me :-)
