I am neither

I'm drinking a cup of coffee and watching Good Morning America, like I do every morning. I'm working on a marketing plan for Agate. I had this idea. First I sent them Heartache, then about a few weeks later, I followed up with a letter, now I'm going to send them the marketing plan. I hope this works. I finally looked over chapter one, I kept avoiding chapter one, because I don't know about other writers, but I've read it at least two thousand times. But when you read something that many times, you don't actually know what the heck you're reading. Long story short, when I looked at it for the first time in months, I saw so much room for improvement. Partly because I'm a better writer, than I was when I read it two thousand times. The other chapters, I think, are fine. Another reason I didn't focus on ch1 was because when I sent it off to different people, ch1 was always the one that hooked them, the other chapters needed improvement, so those are the ones I focused on.
So anyway, I'm gonna send the marketing plan, today, and in about a week I'd like to send them an outline and sample chapter from my next novel. I hope this would aid them in making a decision in my favor. We'll see. Another thing that's troubling, other than the fact that I'd have a better chance of getting struck by lightening than getting published without self-publishing first, is that Agate favors celebrities, and Phd's. I am neither.
