At this point, I've decided to self-publish my first novel. It was completed and ready for submission in May 2010, and I've been attempting to acquire an agent since then who'd like to represent me, but with little results. Due to the technologically advanced society we live in, where paper novels seem to be on the way out, it has become hard to discern who is not a good author and who simply doesn't convince the agents they're profitable. Writing, in any variety of the art, is a life-long uphill beating. There is no easy way to go about it, and certainly nothing but a slim chance of sustaining financially from your work.
Enough bitching. Today, I'm setting up a time frame to be orderly in the efforts for one final rewrite and edit, select the self-publishing company, submission and marketing. Currently, my deadline for the final draft is April 22nd, 2011.
The novel will be called "Concealed Weapons."
That's all for now.
