Sydney Wisdom of the Day - Conference Confusion

Sydney:

Sydney has heard that some people are confused about what to do at writer's conferences.  Some silly people think they should be learning about craft, talking to other writers, learning business, listening to editors.


NO STUPID PEOPLES!  ALL IS ABOUT GETTING AGENT!  WITHOUT AGENT IS NO POINT!  CAN NOT SELL BOOK WITHOUT AGENT!  NO POINT IN WRITING BOOK WITHOUT AGENT!  GET PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!!!!


Focus all attention on agents!  Ignore editors!  Ignore writers!  LISTEN ONLY TO WHAT AGENTS SAY!  Do what necessary to curry agent favor and attention!  Flattery!  Gifts!  Whipped-cream bikini!  TUNA!


Remember: WITHOUT AGENT, U IS NOTHING!


Now, we got that straight...


PURRRR!

  2. Is that what I've been doing wrong? Dang, I got published without an agent first. Maybe I should talk to my publisher and unpublish until I have an agent. And next conference I should be stalking the agents, not sharing and learning.

    I love your wisdom, Agent Sydney. You look a lot like one of my cats, too.

  3. Good news, Syd. You've earned a plug on the world's best unknown writers' blog. Time for a celebration nap.
