Two Left Shoes
Gosh, this is all a bit bewildering.
After about an hour, I managed to get my synopsis up for
feedback. Why it wouldn't just copy and paste I'll never know. It
doesn't like apostrophes. It seems it chops the rest of the
sentence off after an apostrophe, and let's not mention the
layout. Alright let's mention the layout. Why it changes the
layout is beyond me. Ho hum, I suppose I'll get the hang of it.
Talking of getting the hang of it, I can't for the life of me,
work out how to join in the conversations. I've managed to join a
couple of groups (one gold star). It's not that I'm thick, it's
just that ..... well, I suppose I'm thick!!!!
After I get feedback on my summary, I will be ready to send off
my first novel. Just a couple of questions to answer. If anyone
reads this, can they tell me
a) why it is preferable to approach agents as v publishers, and
what about publishers who say they are looking for new
novelists?
b) Do I mention that I wrote my book whilst suffering from
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. Would that be a selling point
(triumph over adversity maybe) or is that wishful thinking.
I think I've done everything arse upwards. I didn't find any
sites like this until after I finished my book and now I've found
out that I have done so many things wrong. Well maybe I'll be
lucky and find an agent who really likes my story. I've had this
book in my head for nigh on thirty years and this has been the
first opportunity for me to get it on paper. I did do a good four
months research before I started, so I did something right
(another gold star?).
Well. here's hoping.

Layout, chopping bits off, random acts of font changing - the Cloud is a mystery to us all.
