My CP's all loved my characters, my premise, and my ms, but I can't seem to generate any interest with agents. It's discouraging and frustrating (I know I'm preaching to the choir here), especially since I have so little time for other projects between work and everything else. I just wish I had some way of knowing that I'm not chasing a pipe dream.Gina Cioccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024256412233972412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463170686978757118.post-67775763880194223272011-08-25T09:48:51.808-07:002011-08-25T09:48:51.808-07:00This is some seriously good advice.

I think this advice is the right kind though. If you don't love it anymore, don't do it.
