My new favorite agent listing, describing what they accept:
Nonfiction:
* memoirs
* popular culture
* sports
* true stories
Yes, that's right, one of the specific sub-genres of non-fiction that they handle is TRUE STORIES.
That dude from Oprah must be pissed. |

Things like this are the only joy I can find while sifting through agents:
Represents 75 clients
90 of clients are new/unpublished writers
I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured that second line is missing a % sign...and then I realized that 90% of 75 is 67.5.
I wonder who their .5 writer is. |

Man, when was the last time I updated this bad boy with something other than my Twitter feed?
Let's see...
New version of the book about my grandfather is "done" and it is EPIC. It's actually so much better than I actually believed it could be I'm a little stunned. Really, it's almost inaccurate to call it a book about my grandfather, although his biography is the framework. It's so much more than that now.
Lesson to be learned: It will always take me years to write a good book, assuming I'm employed for some of those. I started the book about my grandfather over three years ago and it's finally what it should be.
Lesson to be learned: adding women always helps.
I'm going to a job fair on Tuesday. On one hand, I am happy about the idea of being able to actually talk to PEOPLE about a job, as opposed to the blind wall that is the internet. On the other hand, with the job market the way it is, the only business that would HAVE to attend a job fair have to be businesses with really, really shitty jobs available. But at least it will get me out of the house and make me feel productive.
Comic book class has been great. In fact, I really need to finish my script in the next week. It's a ten page story for a comic I'm currently calling "Comics N' Porn." Oh, yeah. I've got some leads on an artist, the theory being we'll put out a mini-comic.
I'm working out again, which is good. Nicole hasn't left me yet, which is better. Thursday marks two months of wedded bliss. I think we're going to Disneyland.
I hate writing query letters. I really do. |
