I've submitted a query letter to a literary agent in the UK regarding my latest novel manuscript. It's a science fiction book titled, "Cataclysm". I've gone down the route before, let's see what can happen. I'm expecting this to take several months if it works at all.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
