I’m a MORON
Sent a query with an SASE that, guess what, doesn’t have proper postage on it.

Have to completely resend it and now that agent will think I’m a moron.
In fact, all my pre-prepared envelopes don’t have enough postage because I prepared them THREE YEARS AGO. Idiot idiot idiot!
So I can’t do anything with snail mail until we get some 3 cent stamps.
Alex said “It’s just one,” but it’s really not. It’s one out of a very limited number with a very low chance of success. In querying, you must query every agent perfectly or they’ll just throw your materials out. They will THROW YOU OUT. I’m not even joking. It’s a very very tough scene.
I’m going to go cry now.

It’ll be okay. Sorta.
At least you didn’t mass-mail your wedding thank-yous with insufficient postage for the weight of the cards and *neglect* to tell your wife that you got back about 40 envelopes and then forgot to remail them for like 6 months.
HEY LOOK, TURKEY!! *giefs turkeY 2 U*

^-^ Hee.
I resent it with a proper SASE. I’m sure my chances at that agent are slightly less now because of sending two queries in a row, but it’d be stupider to just give up, right?
