That's not too bad. You could have boosted it by +2 by picking a different race, and a bit more by having your character be older. +1 to mentals/-1 to physicals for being middle aged isn't too bad. For characters older than that, I usually make them undead to avoid having a terrible Con score...

It's generally not worth buying a Tome till you can afford the +5 one, since they don't stack (unless your DM houserules otherwise, as I used to).

take human paragon 3:
loose one caster level at 1st level, (choose 10 skills, good for some pre-req)
gains a MM feat @ second, +1 effective caster level
+2 any carac @ 3rd, +1 effective caster level

use otuygh hole to get iron will (save a feat)
use wizard variant (UA, p59) to replace scribe scroll + MM feats by fighter feats
-> weapon focus (wiz 1) and power attack (Wiz 5) => save another feat
