The more I research getting a book published the more I think I shall never have a published book just because of all the negative things I'm hearing and reading.

Where are the words of encouragement to drive the imaginative mind forward and not backward?

Writing is like the air I breathe I cannot stop doing either.

Hi Nathan

I have a question as a writer yet to be published. Do you have to have an agent in your own country or can you use agents in US etc? I am rapidly running out of agents in this country who will take on my work which is frustrating as I write sci-fi and can find no fault with the work, having given it to various other people who have found no fault with it.

No agent will give me feedback or suggestions as to why its not what they are looking for.

If I remember correctly, the commercial showed a video shot of an egg in a hand and said "This is your brain", cut to a shot of a sizzling frying pan and said, "This is drugs". The commercial then cut to the egg being cracked open and plopped into the frying pan and said "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"

No way, the agents I've seen were conspicuosly well-dressed! I can spot an agent from across the room at a convention.

Admittedly... that's at a science fiction convention. Hee.
