My problem is, in a sense, I know who I would like to contact to be my agent when I finally have some things in publishing form. Now I'm worried that she's not going to want to represent me until I'm published, which won't happen until I'm represented, which won't happen until I'm published, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
And yeah, about 15 years ago was taken in by a shyster who swore that he could get my novel published (please note that 15 years ago I was 16). Then again, while I (rather, my parents) paid for the experience, I did have a reader go through my novel with a sharp pointy red pen and it did more than anything else for my ability to write, so I count it as a positive.
