Getting Worse

Now the agent I approached has rejected my work. 'Unfortunately we do not feel enthusiastic enough about it to take this further.' If I was a celebrity and they could smell cash then it would be different, even if it was a pile of rubbish, which it is not.
Stil, no time to stand around feeling bitter. I have instead mailed another agent with a nice long text to introduce myself. Lets see what response that gets.
On anther note, I have now agreed the cover concept for 'The View through My Spectales'.

Confused

My birthday has come and gone, again. I can't get a job and no-one seems to like my work otherwise maybe I would be selling more copies of The Green Wall. I'm confused.
I believe that I have now got the design of the cover for The View through My Spectacles going properly. One guy wanted $1200 to design it, but I am able to get it done for $150. Text blocks have come and I have returned my comments; there are problems. Still some weeks away from publication. I want to get it done before my mother passes away. She is 93 and there is a risk that I will not get it done in time. The next revision of the print blocks will dictate how long this is going to take.
Still no news from the agent I approached, nor the magazine that seemed keen to review my book. No-one, it seems, wants to know me.
