Aaah, agents…I've heard horror stories about that bit of the puzzle, but the first part of the puzzle is throwing this draft into a rock tumbler and knocking all of the jagged ugly edges off of it. Of course, I could freelance, but one day I hope writer is on the FRONT end of the profession tag (as in Writer/Insert Day Job Here instead of Insert Day Job Here/Writer. Why the IDJH? Because all a housekeeper is is a maid and Maid/Writer or Writer/Maid makes me see a chibi!me in a French maid getup wielding an oversized fountain pen. Which is just silly.)
Let's see…what I've got going is basically a story set in a post-apocalyptic world in which THE BOMB has gone off long ago, altering the face of the planet and throwing humanity's evolutionary arc into a strange direction, splitting them off into three distinct groups/races. There's been reversion to 'heathen' ways, partially fueled by the emergence of said races. Technology's being redeveloped, the nations are run on a theocracy, and—what am I forgetting? Ah yes—the Illuminati. (Not like you think though…me saying more is a spoiler.)
That…IS distracting. Between It's A Wonderful Life being on and now THAT, I'm feeling quite improved in the mood, even if I AM going to be up all night baking bread.
Well THAT was distractingly hot.
