What to do next?

Well, I am looking at maybe trying to publish some short stories. Ha, like that will be easier than a novel, but I would like to make my bones and get accepted into this professional sci fi/fantasy organization. Well, it is an idea.

I know I need to research the next agents to try. I'm not in a rush. I want to send them to good agents. I know that the AAR is a good test of their desire to follow a code of professional ethics, but finding the best agents in fantasy will take some doing, I suppose.

I considered becoming neurotic and dwelling endlessly on book one, but really not my idiom. I think I will just continue on book II.
