We see Emmi grow close in her female friendships and learn to love life. A stint in rehab finds her with a group of women who understand what it means for the world to not make sense. We see Emmi’s depression reach its lowest depth and her fight to climb out of it.įollowing Emmi, after she accepts the proposal and fights her depression to get herself out of bed to a job she hates, cake tastings, and dinners with George's family, we see her consider the unthinkable, committing suicide at her own engagement party. Throughout the novel, spanning one year, we follow Emmi as she questions her career, her love life, and her existence. When George proposes, Emmi is faced with the reality of her future and what it means for a life to be worth living. In Sick of Everything, we follow twenty-eight-year-old Emmi, who has just taken a three-month leave from her entry-level marketing job to work on her mental health, financed by her wealthy boyfriend, George. Set in New York City, Sick of Everything explores the ennui that accompanies your twenties, how adulthood never quite lived up to its expectations, and what it means to deal with depression. I am seeking literary representation for my novel Sick of Everything (79,000 words, Fiction).
Lastly, 4) Am I ruining too much of the plot? Also, 3) should the word count be exact? I am actually at 79,673 words, but I feel as if I see a round number frequently. My concern stems from 1) whether I should mention I have other works I am currently editing as you see in the last paragraph, (This is my first time ever querying an agent for any piece I have written, but I have another novel I wrote I am trying to edit and I thought maybe it would look better to show that I am serious about writing? Or that I am hoping to create a more than one book relationship with the agent? Or maybe I should leave that out?) I also have the other 2) more obvious concerns about whether this reads well and looks enticing.
