I AM A DAMNED GOOD STORY TELLER & ALTHOUGH SOME CALLED ME A LIAR WHEN GROWING UP, I´VE ENDED UP WRITING SEVERAL NOVELS!
HOW ABOUT YOU? HAVE A WRITING STORY TO TELL? BEEN SCREWED BY THE WRITING MAZE FROM HELL? TELL ME ABOUT IT AND SEE IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE ANSWER. MAYBE WE SHOULD START A WRITERS GUILD CALLED ---THE CATCH 22 UNPUBLISHED AUTHORS---PUNISHED FOR NEVER HAVING BEEN PUBLISHED--- INTERPRETATION? PURE AND SIMPLE: PREJUDICE.
WRITING SEEMED TO ALWAYS TUG AT MY PANTSLEGS BUT I NEVER TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WANTED SINCE I WAS TOO BUSY WITH LIFE. WELL I´M NOW ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND HAVE BEEN WRITING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE SEVERAL BOOKS WAITING TO BE PUBLISHED, BUT IT SEEMS AS IF WRITERS DON´T MEAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE. IF YOU HAVEN´T BEEN PUBLISHED, HOLD AT LEAST 5 DOCTOR´S DEGREES, A MEDEL OF HONOR, AND MARRIED TO A FAMOUS ACTOR/ACTRESS, THEN BASICALLY YOU CAN GO F%$K YOURSELF BEFORE AN AGENCY ASKS TO SEE YOUR WORK. THERE IS THE SLIM POSSIBLILITY THAT YOU COULD HAVE THE NUMBERS THOUGH, LIKE THE LOTTERY, ONE IN A MILLION GET PUBLISHED BECAUSE OF THE INCREADABLE PENMANSHIP DISPLAYED FROM THE START----THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE, OR MAYBE YOU PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE IN PUBLISHING---THE "IT´S WHO YOU BLOW REALLY SEEMS TO APPLY HERE. I HAVE READ PROBABLY 20% OF THE BOOKS ON THE MARKET INSTRUCTING HOW TO AVOID PUBLISHING ERRORS AND SAIL DIRECTLY INTO THE AGENCY´S GREATEST CHANCES PILE, BUT AFTER FOLLOWING ALL OF THESE WISE AND IMPORTANT PROCESSES PASSED ON BY OTHER WRITERS THAT HAVE SOARED TO THE HEIGHTS OF PUBLISHING, AFTER PAYING NO TELLING HOW MUCH CASH FOR THE BOOKS, I´M COMING UP WITH SNAKE EYES--NOTHING. I CREATED THIS SIGHT TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT IN THE HELL A WRITER HAS TO DO IN ORDER TO PUBLISH A BOOK! ARE THERE ANY WRITERS OUT THERE THAT CAN GIVE ME ANY TYPE OF LEGITIMATE DIRECTION? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IN GOD´S NAME I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET AN AGENT TO HELP PUBLISH A BOOK? I´M AWARE OF ALL THE SELF-PUBLISHING AGENCIES, THE SOFTWARE FOR PRINTING AT HOME--NO THANKS. I´M INTERESTED IN COMMERCIALLY SELLING A DAMNED GOOD GROUP OF FINISHED NOVELS!!!!!!
I´ve read many different viewpoints from fabulous, published writers, and their basic message is to keep being persistent, make up a fantastic pitch letter, do exactly what the agency requires in their submission requirements section, and insure all grammar is perfect. After that, it is who you know, who you are, and how unique your idea is. Okay, now that I know that, where do my odds stand at publishing?
1 in oo (infinity), it´s not gonna happen.
I don´t know anyone in the publishing business, don´t have a doctor´s degree, and I´m just a plain kind of person with some killer stories to tell.
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO GET A DAMNED IDEA READ!
I HAVE SENT THOUSANDS OF EMAILS, HUNDREDS OF SNAIL MAIL AND HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 3-COUNT EM,(SWEAR TO GOD), REQUESTS TO SEE MY WORK. I'M VERY EXHAUSTED.
