Ever revise a story so much that Theseus sets sail on it?
Jurassic Park, but replace the dinosaurs with literary rejections. Jeff Goldblum: "Submittable, ah, finds a way."
It's October, so I'm thinking about turning my Submittable decline tab into a haunted house. 👻
A journal where the submission guidelines are just those two door guards from Labyrinth: "One of us always tells the truth, and one of us always lies."
When I logged into Submittable this morning, all my submissions were gone. Then they all jumped out at once. Turns out it was a surprise rejection party.
A story with too many adjectives and adverbs is kind of like an overstuffed sandwich. When you go to take a bite, everything comes falling out.
If you ever get lost while writing a story, remember that moss grows on the north side of your words.
If you put googly eyes on your literary rejections, it makes them a little more fun.
