I completely rewrote my novel. I like it. I'll publish it one day, if I have to do it myself and put the only sold copy on my own shelf at home. Anyway, that's all on hold while I let my head clear for a better stab at query letters.
In the meantime, and on the front burner, largely because of advice here, I have something new. It's a comedy screenplay I just wrote. What a high that was. I just started with an idea I've had for years, and it came together. I wrote most of it between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and have gone through several drafts and revisions. Good or bad, just getting it out and down on paper feels like such a great achievement.
If anyone here is particularly interested in this kind of work, and has advice on how I proceed from here (SYW, QLH), I'd like to hear it. Is it true, as I've read, that searching for an agent for this kind of work is oftentimes a waste unless you either have connections or such a knockout concept that anyone sees it off the bat? In other words, the query process is much different?
