A query letter is all about how to impress a literary agent or an editor. A query letter is like a pitch in that it is meant to be a short summary. The summary is supposed to tell the author what the story is about. It has to be 1 page maximum from what I remember in school. I didn’t take business of creative writing and I mentally kick myself for not taking that class but I’m more organized in the present than I was in college, and now I can probably have better follow through for all projects. A query letter for any genre, even non-fiction, should be a quick way for an agent to decide that they need to look at your work further.
I’m not into romance, since anything romantic makes me check out. I can’t stand anything way too emotional. But anyway, a story world has to have rules that the protagonist breaks, either on purpose or accidentally. To review what the word accident means, it means random, unexpected event. The main character has to then adapt or run away from the rules being broken, especially if the Divine sets the rules. Good stories have a lot of drama, but the protagonist need not win all the time. Stories are about karma either going around or being returned to the protagonist. Bad guys are necessary to have in life as well as inside the world the storytelling takes place in.
Getting a literary agent is relatively easy although you have to fact-check from the Association of Author’s Representatives. If you have some idea of what genre your book fits into, then you will be able to judge the agent’s specialty. A literary agent is pretty much into helping you given your material is good for business, which means it is out of the slush pile, and into the hands of the agent who will seek to represent you. Youtube has many videos from real writers who have been published. I’ve simply used quarantine to do my how to publish research. It is not that complicated to follow directions, and sooner or later, I will have a published book.
As of 3/26/20, my literary agency business plan is done. I found the Table of contents for business plans copy I left on my USB drive, and I’m using it. The thing is, I have decided that this company needs to be an LLC, so we all share in the success if I hire other literary agents across the country that I can trust. My Internet publishing company also features a rentable printing press that we can use. I’d let almost anybody use it aside from negative groups not being allowed to print anything racist or inflammatory. My idea would involve hiring literary agents, and putting out books for writers who can’t get published by conventional publishing houses.
I recently talked to someone who said that is unconstitutional. It can’t be done, and it will receive bailout money to keep in operation. The anthrax scare after 9-11 did a number on people, as the post office has to continue functioning no matter what, although 45 likes to cause chaos. His expertise is rattling people’s cages. The postal service does not receive taxpayer dollars to keep in operation. There is such thing as advocating for less delivery days, and slowing down the mail. While we are in lockdown, I’ve taken to quarantining my mail outside in shopping bags.

Congress will eventually suck it up and accept the $1200 per adult stimulus package. I have no husband to file with together but I filed my 2018 taxes with good foresight although my 2019 taxes also need filing. Yes, the stimulus package will save us from total economic disaster in the United States. I’m wondering what is going on with the virus, and if it is contained yet. It may take a while to contain the virus, since other countries have put people on lockdown with the shelter in place order. It is odd not seeing planes in the sky much, because we are in a time of unprecedented crisis. I can feel global stress, as very few nations are not impacted by the pandemic.
Could it be that they don’t care? Nobody reads my writing, nobody bothers to email me or call. I try to put my biological family on ignore, but my extended family members live in foreign countries although they are my Facebook friends. Yes, sure, they are busy, and so am I, but seriously? Do you people give a shit about my work? Do you guys know I can make money since being told about my 22q? In the immediate present I have no money. Wow, people, just wow. Could ya’ll be any less dense? You’ve been brainwashed into ignoring me. Damn it, I’m writing a book about this crap under my pen name.
My illness came to a head at Girl Scout Camp in 1991. I was finishing the fourth grade as an incoming 5th grader for the next year. I went to Girl Scout camp thinking nothing about going since I had sold enough cookies to pay my way for my troop. My mother sent me there, and I caught a cold. This cold was what triggered my pancreas being on its last legs. I got very ill, having to be isolated from other campers. I was peeing a lot, peeing nonstop in fact. My caregiver was the mother of a camper, who helped me survive the night. I’d like to track her down. I was dreadfully thin that camping trip, and drinking Country Time Lemonade. To this day, whenever I see a package of this flavored drink, I get flashbacks. I somehow got to the hospital when I got home because of a family friend, and that was roughly around the time I fell asleep, got delusional, mumbling about horses. So anyway, yes, I survived since I was in diabetic coma for three days, and on a ventilator, kept on life support. I need to go back to Stanford Hospital to poke around, figure out who were the attending doctors and track them down.
China has gone 5 days without a new coronavirus case. More power to them, they’ve managed to contain the virus, finally, even with the possibility of people getting reinfected. The thing is that Europe and the United States are a hot mess when it comes to the virus. I’m scared but less scared today considering April 1st is coming along with the much desired stimulus check. I do have a 2018 tax return. But anyway, people are terrified of simple stuff like grocery shopping and picking up prescriptions, which is what I’m paranoid about. I’m pretty much not leaving the house much until the 7th.
I have no idea, other than I’m fascinated with sociopathy because it runs in my family. They have no idea how narcissistic they are. I’m stunned by their perpetual denial issues fettered with ignorance, only because they just do things on whims. This is shocking, the whims they put themselves through. I’m trying to figure out how to keep my head in my family of narcissists. I mean seriously, they do things to upset people. I’m just floored that my family has like no consideration for me as I’m trying to find a job right now although SSI cannot cut me from the system unless they see I have money, period. I have to file my taxes and print the return for the review. Yes, I stay away from my family, since holiday events are quite boring even if I try to be colorful to lighten things up. You want to be miserable? Oh fine, be that way. In the present as I do not have a degree, I cannot help narcissists, by being myself and NOT drinking threaten them.
