thehefner: (Jesus on the Swing)
The good news: so as some of you know, I have a rather high-profile contact in the literary world who has offered his hand in helping to get my novel published. Now aside from some revisions, my book's finished and pretty much ready for review, and my guy is ready to put in a good word with his agent.

The bad news: I need to think up a smart, sexy, and *short* pitch for my novel, along which he will put in a good word for me. But like the leagues auditions this Tuesday (GAAAK!) I have one shot at this and very little time/space at my disposal, so it has to be good.

Wait, did I just do that in parenthesis above? I'll say it again. GAAAK!

I haven't the fainest clue what to do, what to say. I have one or possible two book synopsis, but how do I write this letter? How do I make it eye-catching and memorable? How do I get them to want to read my manuscript? Think, Heffie. Think think think.

In the meantime, I finally have an animated Sad Jesus icon from the Simpsons. As God said to Homer, "I sent my son down to earth once. I don't know what you people did to him, but he's never been the same since." The sheer perfection of that Jesus depiction can keep me amused, even when I'm stressed and concerned.
