I’m an aspiring novelist trying to “get on”. Using very real, very human characters who are more often than not struggling with the unspeakableness of every day life, I just might open your eyes. Let Me In!

Dear (Agent/Agency), I am seeking representation for my literary work, "Lost In The Nothingness". Complete at 66,000 words, it is a concentrated, potent, coming-of-age novel, ideally paced for its prospective audience. I have included a summary of "Lost In The Nothingness". A finished manuscript or sample chapters are available upon your request. What happens when life doesn't work out exactly as you had planned it?

There is a difference between a dedicated junky and a casual user, just as there is a difference between a raging alcoholic and a social drinker.

The way he would wake up and wonder if he was still dreaming, then dream why he was where he was, I have to admit I was waiting for this story to bomb and have a disappointing ending. What makes your story so good, though, is how smoothly you tie everything together. It is a good, complex idea with the potential to go bad but you made it work. Give yourself a hand...
Good work. The tumultuous state of humanity throughout the world today (as well as in the past) leaves artists with no shortage of inspiration for their work... it's too bad that our inspiration can't be found in more positive examples of human thought and action, and our resulting work could be a positive inspiration for generations following ours. We do the best that we can with what we have, though, just like you did with this poem. Although it is sort of vague, I am left with the impressi...
That's cool; instead of feeling ashamed of yourself, you feel embarrassed for somebody else. That's a solid outlook to have, a bit defensive, but we all gotta be in this crazy world nowadays.
