Time to get back to work?
Is it time to get back to work? To resume this crazy pointless dream of becoming a published novelist?
Yeah. I think so. Nothing like a rainy night to put me in the mood to get to work. So I've got a few things I need to take care of in coming months, which I shall now enumerate:
1: Write pitches for each of my better novels.
(1A: Decide which of my six novels are the better ones.)
2: Write draft pitch letters for each of my chosen novels.
3: Identify agents to pitch said novels to.
4: Sign up for the Publisher's Lunch web site to get access to potential agents (this should really be flipped/flopped with previous item).
5: Mail a batch of ten letters to said agents for each of said chosen novels by, say September.
6: Start plotting my 2005 NaNoWriMo novel.
7: Stop making lists and write. And edit. And write some more.
