All things being equal, there would never be a problem with improving a piece of writing. While not wrong, there seems to be few things in writing, especially while querying, than discovering a way to dramatically improve your writing only after already submitting query packages to literary agents. Literally today, thanks to some feedback I received in a query rejection, I was able to see something that had escaped me prior to this point about my first chapter.

Although I now having improved my writing in addressing that issue, I have no realistic way of fixing those query submissions at this point. It’s as if I put them in a mail tube vacuum system, it’s gone and there’s nothing to do now except wait and hope the agents don’t mind that issue or are able to see past it.

Any thoughts to try and update the query package seems impossible now outside of trying to contact them through email or social media. But I won’t indulge that thought process because I feel like it would make me come across as just a bit too much. I will just live and learn and carry the lesson forward to the next opportunity.

If I keep chopping at the tree, no matter how thick it is, enough whacks will send it down. 💪🏼
