So today after getting my third rejection (not such an alarming situation, but slightly “get off your ass” when your closest local friend slash future publicist and 22-year-old assistant slash target audience test reader start to panic), I decided to switch tactics and target men in my search for a new literary agent. So fueled by the knowledge that my own boyfriend has been known to read Perez Hilton on occasion and that some of the top-selling women writers (among then Danielle Steel and the late Olivia Goldsmith) have retained male representation, I set out to write a series of what I hope are compelling query letters to male agents. Now let’s just look forward to the idea that one of them will be interested enough to want to read some of the not-as-yet-publicly monikered “New Novel” and furthermore, come to represent it. I guess we’ll see as my query letters take flight and land in New York.

Not looking forward to the new season of Nip/Tuck as much as I yearned for seasons 3 & 4 but I can’t help but love this sexy beast all the same. In all his glory, Dr. Christian Troy:
