NaNoWriMo and agents

So I still have had no news from the agent I want!  However NaNoWriMo starts today so I just have to forget about it for the time being.  Today was also the deadline to hand in the second draft of my first novel to my fake agent.  The story of my fake agent is rather peculiar (as is her title).  I was led to believe she was a real agent but then I found out in fact she was just an intern at an agency.  That agency has now let her go and she has not even told me.  So for some reason I am still sending her my work, even though she is a fake agent, who no longer even has a job as an intern.  However I would rather have a fake agent then no agent, so it will do for now.  Oh, I forgot to say...not only is she a fake agent, she also has asked me to sign a contract which gives her 20% of all my media earnings forever!  Obviously I haven't signed it but my situation is a little bit troubling!
