Publishing

So now for the process of agents and query letters.

I have to get my book into tip-top shape. Then I have to write "pitch" letters to various agents. I will get rejected a million billion times. Then, if one of the agents likes my pitch, he/she will ask for a synopsis, or summary, of the book. Then THAT will be rejected a million billion times.

Then finally, maybe, kinda sorta, an agent will ask for the WHOLE manuscript. And then I will have to sneak into my school library really early in the morning and print out the damn thing using school paper and printers.

Then I will mail it. 

And then it will be rejected.

A million billion times.

Then, even if I get an agent, there is no guarantee that the agent will be able to sell my book to a publisher. It's like, a whole other process.

Thus is the process of trying to get published.

Helpppp...

In other news, at work I had to put "no smoking" signs in buildings no one has access to. That's right. So in case anyone illegally breaks into these buildings, they will know not to smoke. But honestly, I don't think that type of person will care.
