Terrifying.
I've spent a few years on this 300 + page novel, and now its success (or dismal failure) depends on one itty bitty page. If I write any more than a page, it'll likely get used for scrap paper.
The process of researching agents is actually fun. I visit their webpages and see which authors they represent. Many of these agents are based in NYC. I heart the Big Apple. Too bad you can't do unsolicited agency visits, because that would have been a sweet justification for a big city adventure.
I've been reading all sorts of books on how to get published, how to find an agent, and so on. One stat said that in a survey of published authors, the average time from writing a first book to getting something published was eleven years.
That's encouraging, eh?
I need some chocolate.

R and I stopped by Susie's Shortbreads the other night for some treats. We bought four little things but someone ate the cookies and cream truffle before I could get a photo of it....
From left to right: Death by Chocolate truffle, Haystack, Toblerone cheesecake baby.
Everything was amazing. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the haystack which contained an intoxicating medley of chocolate, pretzels, and nuts.

I'd like lots of demands for more reviews from this place so I'll be obligated to go there more often.
Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about Michelle William's Oscar dress and said I wanted some more orange in my wardrobe? Looky what I found on the Town Shoes website.

Oh and can anyone think of a more awkward situation than Ben and Courtney on "After the Final Rose"?
