Submission Hints - Story When you're writing your story, be sure to pay attention to details and try to make it as interesting as possible for the reader. Tell the truth by all means, but also give people a sense of what you were thinking at the time, why you'll always remember the scar, etc. Did your little brother accidentally clock you with a nine-iron while goofing around in the basement? Did you have a major operation that you'll always remember? Did you get hit by a car while riding your bike to work? Your story can be funny, insightful, depressing or anything in between, but above all it has to read well. Also, please come up with some sort of title for your story (if you don't, you forfeit control of the title to me and I'll name it something weird). I don't have any length requirements, but if it's under 250 or over 1000 words, you might want to work with it a bit. I do promise to read every submission that is sent to me, but I can't promise that every one will be put up on the site. If your story is on the verge of making it onto the site (and time permitting), I may e-mail you back with some suggestions as to how I think it could be spruced up a bit. I'm not a great writer by any means, but this is the system that I have worked out for now. Also, provide me with either an e-mail or web address that I can link to from your name (or you can remain anonymous if you really wish). Submit!!
