Well, I learned what I already figured to be true — about 85% of literary agents are, in fact, women. I learned that reading a book on how to get an agent that I’ve just started.
But the more important issue is how do I get back to writing just in general. I think there are three ways. One is to begin printing out pages from the novel I’ve written so I can edit it. Another is to work on the short story I’m working on. And the third is to work on a dramedy novel I’ve long dreamed about.
Now, one issue about the dramedy novel is it would be a much better screenplay than novel. But, lulz, writing a screenplay is just too sharp a learning curve. I know how to write a novel — or at least, how I write one — so I can dive right in and get going. Whereas to write a screenplay would be a serious, serious pain in the ass that would take too long.
Anyway, I hope to get into this book about getting a literary agent as well. I am still on track to get to querying by Sept of this year. That gives me roughly just over two months to position myself to do that as of this writing.
