Somebody with more time, patience, acumen and smarts than me should sit down and work out the mathematical formula for your chances of having a book published if you submit it to agents and publishers.
It would probably show that you're more likely to get sexually molested by aliens from the planet Gorp.
I might write a novel about an unpublished author who takes an entire building of agents hostage, threatening to cut out their giblets if they don't immediately publish his 265,000 word epic about nostril hair.
I'll call it 'The Sword Is Mightier Than The Pen, Actually.'
It'll be a smash hit.
