Plastic Surgery Short Fiction

whatever you do, don't get discouraged. you're not the first or last good writer to visit this page.

what's the very first thing they teach you in writing school? surely you remember:
a successful author needs to cultivate an endless capacity for rejection.

so, see? all of this is only helping to thicken your skin.

anyway, here are some options to think about:

1. enter some other contests where it's easier to win. Zoetrope: All-Story and Glimmer Train are good choices, although you have to wait forever to find out.

2. quit entering contests and get on with your writing.

3. quit writing and get on with real life.

4. give up on real life and click back into MySpace.

or
quit feeling so sorry for yourself
and enter our contest at least one more time.

for an instant decision, an all-new free bonus,
and quite possiby a thicker skin,
cross your fingers and


knock on wood
(yes, we'll add it to your tab)
