'Do Don'ts

A writer friend once pointed out to me how often I change my hair. I laughed and responded that I always do something new with my hair when I get a rejection. She understood then.

Well, Saturday I had my first non-rejection hair appointment in a long while. I got the red kicked up a bit and the chunky front pieces blended back in.


I was pretty pleased with myself and my non-rejection 'do yesterday.

But in a cruel twist of fate, guess what I found in my inbox this afternoon. Go on, guess.

Yep. A rejection. (They didn't like puma man. How could you not like puma man, huh?)

I think that from now on, I'm going to have to not get my hair done while I have a submission out. This could get hairy. Heh. [The audience groans, the band tries to help with a funny sound effect, it totally doesn't work.]

What about you? Have any silly superstitions?
