I'm working on something and it may well be a colossal waste of time but at least its not the most unwholesome use of my time as I'm using my brain and it's fun too. If I'm honest though -when I come up for air- I do fantasize about it being a successful book. And if I let my fantasy run rampant, I'm a successful author with children on the edge of their seats waiting for the next installment of a series that humbles the one about the boy wizard that they made a bunch of movies about.
However, while I don't mind the sometimes gruelling process of pen on paper, working out the kinks and repeated redrafts, everything that happens after you've finished is a total alienating mystery to me. I would be interested in getting traditionally published....but I've heard that there is something called a slush pile which is best avoided and an agent can help you in this. So how hard is it to get an agent?
Thanks
