So I wrote this book and I think it's pretty decent. That's the feedback I'm getting anyway, which is bitchin' really since I have a degree in Education, NOT writing. Plus, this is my first try, so really I should be happy, right? But, turns out writing the book is maybe the easy part. The publishing is another story. You have to find a Literary Agent. To do this, you have to write a 1-3 page letter to many literary agents to convince them to read a sample chapter. Send it with a Self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) and wait. there's more but I'm already experiencing a high level anxiety just writing about this part. In my letter, I'm supposed to explain who I am, what my book's about, why I'm qualified to write it, why its sicky illy good, who'll read it, and on and on. AHHHHHhhhhh! This shit scares me. Also, I'm supposed to be witty, clever, literary, and junk. Oh and explain a 300 page book in a sales pitch. I'm not a frea...
Did I ever tell you I was once a photographer? One time I shot an event sponsored by love sac and they gave me a t shirt and a bag with that written on it. Good times.
ReplyDeletePS with that said I don't even know what a love sac is. That kind anyway.
ReplyDeleteI knew you were a photographer. I didn't know you did *that kind* of photography;)
ReplyDeleteI'd be more worried that they're selling a sex cushion on Craigslist. "Minimal stains - $100 off!"
ReplyDeleteWow, what a deal!!
