Triplet selkies at the circus! The circus owner hides their skins and forces them to perform. The circus runs out of money and is stuck in a small town. They each fall in love with local boys, but their romances take different paths. The boys steal the skins. One boy gives her skin to his selkie and she returns to the sea. One selkie gives the skin to her guy and stays with him, but longs for the sea. One couple finds a balance between land and sea. Someone should drown.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

I like number 3.
I finally got my rejection for my short story after nine months. It's free again. It's not that disappointing, it's the second short story I've ever written and that place gets so many submissions that it takes nine months or more to hear back. Now I can submit someplace that shouldn't take so long, just have to pick one out.

My Drollerie Press short stories are available to me for re-publishing. Is trying to get them re-published a waste of time, since the first publication rights are gone? Or should I use them as a resume to get something else published?

Also, you can do a duotrope search for markets that accept reprints - some do, depending on previous circulation.

On tonight's installment of Thin-skinned writer is thin-skinned, insecure, and possibly crazy: my writing is not going as well as I would like, which happens. But someone on my FB posting a comment of "Jilli, this is getting to be a refrain. Enough with the wordcount broadcast already! Geez!" is not helping my mood.
t nope, the insecure and possibly crazy tag won't close

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My college roommate's brother had, for the longest time, as his away message on IM a horoscope he'd once gotten: "You've always wanted a helper monkey, but your new harmer monkey will have to do."
I think that may be appropriate for you.
I feel your pain on the lack of word-count. This paper simply does not want to be written.
