You are terrific. See I can be right minded, again I am mostly left
handed, important to also be light, exhausting only good if having sex which is
the sum total of the book.
Rest assured I will follow your brief below very carefully when
responding in kind. I am late to meet my other friend Derrick.
Thank you.

Finding you a literary agent might
be tough:
Let's break it down - I think you do need
a little help with finding an "agent". And I think you do
need more than just a little help with the part
about "literary".
I think you will need a sample chapter
that is intriguing and compelling and does not take 42 detours for every point
you wish to make. From my own reactions and the reactions I have read
from others that you have shared, I think your style is best described as
exhausting. And often does more to help people miss the point than get it.
I have been reading along for quite some
time now. and I dare say without equivocation that if you were on trial for
telling a story in a succinct and attractive way, I do not think I would
be able to point out enough evidence to convict you. Even the most
determined prosecutors might give up. I sense you might have more of a
challenge on this point than you are willing to admit (which means there
will be no conviction by confession either).
I am willing to help you with the sample
chapter. Once polished and stylistically acceptable to both you and the
rest of this world - we can shop for that agent - but that might take quite a
while. If you already have the acceptable and neatly packaged sample chapter --
let me know and I'll feel better about the probability of success.
Without that, if you are already shopping, then that's a wonderful picture
of
This is my example of somewhat
succinctly making a few points. Can you write back in a similar manner?
Please remember - I am your friend and I
am trying to help.
