You are not Alone.
Alone
Solitary
Loner
Words that describe one which has no other
In a world of six billion, so many describe themselves as thus
For even in a crowd, the feeling of being alone
Permeates the fibers of our hearts
And every beat slowly takes us into sorrow
For none understand this pain
This sadness
This loneliness
That drains away the life from our limbs
And makes our hearts frigid and dark.
But, with six billion others that could be feeling the same way, are we really?
Are those that scream out into the void of their frozen hearts truly not heard?
Truly, this I say to you
That no cry may go unheard,
No tear fall in vain
I make this vow
You are not alone.
Reach out your hands beyond that barren, windswept plain of your heart
And you will find
Fingers
Reaching back to grasp yours
And pull you back into the warm of the sun
Though your darkness, reach out, reach out
For there is already a hand waiting to grasp yours.
Reach out
Find that light once again
And become that hand that reaches into the darkness of other’s hearts
So you me be the the proof that
You are not alone.
X&V,
K.D.S.

Hi, goodness me. I’m such a slacker. I’ve been meaning to get back to you. I’m pretty sure after the novel you have to master the synopsis, which is what you send to most agents/publishers. A synopsis if you aren’t familiar with it is
basically just a brief brief summary of your book. But it must be attention grabbing. Each submission is unique to whom you’re sending your manuscript to, check each publishers/agents guidelines, if you’re unsure have them send you a set of their guidelines either by mail or email. They may not all require a synopsis, but I think most do.
Link for that:

You want to make it as perfect as possible so you don’t get thrown in the slush pile. Also make sure you copyright your work, guidelines for that are here: http://literarylawguide.com/resources.htm.
Anyway, here are some links with helpful info about agents, manuscript guidelines, etc.: http://nathanbransford.blogspot.com/,
http://firstwriter.com/, also try the Writers Market Books, or the Website which is continuously updated.
Hope this helps. Happy New Year. Let me know how it goes.
