I am THRILLED to announce that I have an agent! I instantly clicked with @mia_dakin; her excitement and love for my manuscript made me feel so safe and seen, making it the easiest yes! Can't wait for this journey! #WritingCommunity

Gen Z are the first generation refusing to martyr themselves for workplaces that replace you in a week.
If anything, they’re the first ones getting it right.
Taking sick days isn’t weakness, it’s boundaries.
It’s a refusal to continue a cycle of burnout. 4/4
Not one for morning TV, but I'm home with a poorly little girl and watching @thismorning, where they're talking about Gen Z taking “too many sick days” and how people should just get on with it. Honestly, that mindset is half the reason so many millennials and Gen Z are... 1/2
the idea that suffering in silence is somehow virtuous.
It’s not.
You shouldn’t have to nearly pass out at work to be taken seriously.
You shouldn’t have to drag yourself in with a fever to prove loyalty.
You shouldn’t be applauded for destroying your body just to keep a job. 3/4
Please, please, PLEASE do not set your self worth on publishing. Publishing is so subjective. Do not make your measure on the whims of another. Write for you first and foremost.
Dear agent,
Thank you so much for your rejection letter. Although it had merit, it isn't what I am looking for at this time. Please feel free to try me again in the future with a different submission that would better fit my needs.
Sincerely,
Determined author
