It is generally not advised to query an agent on the same work twice, but most agencies address whether or not they'll accept queries on revised material in their guidelines. Good luck! 🖤

People always seem to think I'm meek and nonconfrontational until they push me too far and then suddenly I have an "anger management problem" 😂 #writerproblems #writingcommunity #writer #writers #writinglife #writerlife #angermanagement

Hey I have an idea, what if when you pay your health insurance company for years and they then deny your legitimate insurance claim(s), they then have to pay you back all the money you paid them so far. It's only fair 🤷 #writingcommunity #writerlife #writinglife

Far too much to list here, my friend 😂 but I'd say some of the biggest lessons were patience and managing my expectations. That and that you'll have to not only fill the "author" role, but also the roles of editor, graphic designer, marketing and sales. And don't forget to cheer yourself on! 🖤

There is a huge learning curve and it's not for the faint of heart, but I do like having my work available when people ask me "where can I read your book" 😂🖤

Remembering the time my 7-year-old niece told everyone at the Thanksgiving table she'd just discovered something we all needed to hear and then proceeded to put ACDC's "For Those About to Rock" on the stereo 😆 Can't wait till she discovers Led Zeppelin 🤣🤣🤣 #writingcommunity #rockandroll #funny

It's from the movie Secretary with James Spader (this is not to say I have that kind of relationship with my boss, just that he seems to get a super intense, weird gratification when he thinks he's caught me in a mistake) 😂

Started a brand new job yesterday. At shift end, as we were all leaving, the manager put up his hand, so I high-fived him on the way out. Later on I realized he was just waving goodbye to everyone. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 My funeral will be held Saturday at 2. #shamespiral #awkwardaf #writingcommunity
