Hathor that's really understandable because it's directly about you. Sorry.
*offers cookies*
Even worse, it's about me and my
child (the one who was assessed at the bottom of the first percentile in intelligence and language, spent years in special ed then was homeschooled by yours truly, went to Brown, and is now working on her Ph.D. at UPenn...not to brag or anything
).
Oh well, cookies are always appreciated and always make things better. As does wine, which I can now have since I'm finally off all of the counterindicated drugs.
My inclination now is to focus on trying to get rep on fiction, then bring out the NF. I've read that agents don't like the idea of getting different agents for different genres. I could submit directly to small presses, of course. I may try an article on the subject, if I figure out what aspect to focus upon and whom to approach.
But first, I need to stop being such a wiener and nudge on a fiction full where the agent was so complimentary on my book and said she'd get back to me soon. This was back at the beginning of December. I had hopes of at least some useful feedback, so my querying pretty much stopped on it even before I fell into the pneumonia pit.
And I should reread WIP and all my betas' comments thereon since that's the only way my muses are coming back I think. I'm not physically at 100%, but I think my mind is back. I'll guess I'll see, huh
