The reasons why I still haven’t heard from the agent who’s looking at my novel, Charity MacCay and the Almighty Dollar.
-
It’s August and sweltering and most of the population of New York City has skipped town for the month.
-
The agent is still in her office but her assistant is on vacation and left her email account in lockdown.
-
A virus created by evil Russian hackers has destroyed the agent’s computer system and all contact information for me.
-
The NSA intercepted my email because its attached pdf manuscript revealed too many national security secrets.
-
The agent loved my novel and is about to send me a contract in the mail.
-
The contract was already mailed but a mugger stole the postman’s mail bag.
-
The IT person at my job decided I shouldn’t be sending personal emails from work so he’s been intercepting and deleting them.
-
My manuscript is so brilliant that the agent is reading it very, very slowly so that she can savor every word.
-
My manuscript stinks and the agent doesn’t have the heart to tell me she can’t reject it fast enough.
-
I am suffering from hallucinations because in reality no one anywhere is looking at my manuscript.
Personally, I think the answer is #10. Do you have any additions to the list?
