Tough Times Tuesday

Now I'm depressed. This article, "Agents & Editors: A Q&A With Agent Nat Sobel" by Jofie Ferrari-Adler, tells us that new male fiction writers stand virtually no chance of getting an agent and getting published unless they either a) have a platform, or b) write thrillers.

What if I wrote a thriller while sitting on a platform, say up on a flagpole? Think that might work?

Bloglessness

Forgive my lack of blogging today; I'm preparing to query 100 literary agents concerning my novel. The research is time-consuming.
