How I wrote literature

Okay World, I've gone ahead and written the great american novel, now what?

Hello there world!

Well I have done it! Yes, finally I've done it. I have written literature. I didn't start out that way. In the beginning I was just going to write a simple little mystery for the world to enjoy and then discard and move along on to the next one. But something happened along the way. My characters became deep and memorable.

So I have done it. And I have sent a few queries out to some literary agents. But what happens now? The waiting.

If I said to you that my book, "Seven Murders in Sussex" would change you completely, would you read it? If I told you that by the end of the book you would totally lose your breath and find it difficult to breathe, would you read the book?

It's written very simply, which is the absolute genius it. You may become bored with it in the first or second chapter, but by the end, I'm sure my reading audience will absolutely hate me for what I do to them.

The reader will be moved. The reader will be changed. And I do believe that this book could be a best seller, not because it is written in the most brilliant prose that you've ever seen, but because, there is a deeper message in the multiple layers. There are things about my characters that even I do not know. They have taken on a life of their own.

The basic premise is this, a retired Playboy bunny who owns a hotel in a small farming town, attempts to stop its "depopulation" from the government by contacting a pal of hers from the early days who has become a music television celebrity. Her friend comes to the town to help and is murdered. Then her estranged polo player husband is murdered and then his publicist.

Seven Murders in Sussex is brilliant. It will take your breath away. But how do I get it to you if I can't get a publisher interested.

I read yesterday a website by an embittered writer who discusses how hard it is to actually get a book published and how our chances are few to zip.

She discourages future writers.

If this is the case, how do we get our books out? How do we get our messages across?

She's an idiot.

I've written literature. It needs some tweaking by a good editorial team. I have just flung it out into the world. I don't dare self publish. I'm too poor to begin with. I'm not looking to get rich. I just need to get the word out. My living characters need to meet you.

You won't easily forget them and will probably be quoting them for years to come.

Where is the answer? Does anyone have the answer?

Thanks.
