Roommates and Rushing Things

After an arduous process, I have found a new roommate. I used past experiences as far as who to look for and questions to ask any prospective tenants. Nothing is guaranteed, and for all I know, I could be in for a world of trouble, but at the very least, I did what I could to mitigate any problems by stating what I want and what the prospective tenant could expect from me. Of course, you never truly know someone until you have lived with them, so it really is just seeing how it will all go moving forward.

This experience goes with writing and sending query letters to literary agents as well. I made a huge mistake in submitting query letters for The Mustard Prince in the Condiment Kingdom well before it was ready, and from what I have read, it is not a good look to re-submit the same work to a literary agent. Those are now missed opportunities because of my own inexperience, but also because I rushed things. Rushing things has been a common mistake in so many things that I have done such as break dancing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and in writing as well.

All is not lost though. I feel that I am submitting much more polished works, and I am learning from past mistakes. I have better discipline in grinding through, making time to write, and editing my works. I’ll keep at this, and it really is just seeing how it will all go moving forward.
