I got back another rejection letter, but this is the second one in a row where the editor sent me a personal note saying he liked the story. That's something, anyway.

Personal rejections are definitely a step up. Congrats! Means you're getting closer!

Keep shopping it around...it'll fit *someone's* needs! Seems like the "I liked the story" note is a kind of proof of that :)

Personal letters are excellent. They mean you can immediately write back and say, "I have this other story..."

That's good. The rejection letter means you had the courage to try. Most people don't even get that far.
