stoneslThe Great Recession Is a Great Reason to Celebrate

Misunderstanding is the cause of so much pain. We at The Stoneslide Corrective would like to correct one misunderstanding that has become rampant in recent years. We would like to lift this veil of pain. We are nothing if not empathetic.

Since 2007, the unemployment rate has gone from under 5% to 9%. That represents approximately seven million additional people out of work. This is commonly called a “national nightmare” or a “tragedy.” We prefer to see it as a tremendous advance for the cause of liberty. [Read more…]

than I do. Sneaky bastard is always getting me in trouble.

We have received so many grateful responses since we released The Rejection Generator. Here is just one writer’s story of how the generator helped her.

Dear Editors,

Well, all I can say is YOUR LOSS. Someday I’m going to make millions of dollars, but unfortunately for you, you will never see a penny of it. We could have become rich together, but now you’ll never know. Just to be clear, both my mother AND my best friend said that my book was the best one they had ever read. And my mom should know, because she has red EVERY SINGLE Nora Roberts book there is. Also, my best-friend said that my book has the potential to be BIGGER than Harry Potter. Yes Sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… Bet you wish you could have it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But no, you have already rejected me, and once someone is on my bad list, they are on it FOREVER!!!!!!

So goodbye to you and your sorry-ass publishing firm.

Yours Sincerely,
Mary Lisa Bailess, aka the next Stephen King, and you just turned me down (but don’t despair, maybe I’ll throw you a bone when my sales Eclipse Stephanie Myers). Idiots.

Note: Mary is the author of The Wedding Macabre, which will be available on Amazon starting April 20.

A Note from a Rejectee

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: editors@stoneslidecorrective.com

The printing press liberated scribes from manual copying. The typewriter liberated writers from hand cramps. The internet liberated writers from post office lines and human interaction. Finally, a new invention can liberate writers from their greatest bane: rejection.

The Rejection Generator rejects writers before an editor looks at a submission. Inspired by psychological research showing that after people experience pain they are less afraid of it in the future, The Rejection Generator helps writers take the pain out of rejection.

The Rejection Generator was conceived of, designed, and built by Stoneslide Media. Try it anytime right here.

Writers who want to be pre-rejected simply choose a category of rejection and fill out their email address, and a rejection is immediately sent to them. Each letter is ingeniously painful and discouraging. [Read more…]

because the line for the wrong thing was too long? The long waiting times for vice and pleasure might be the only things saving the world.

How many times have I done the right thing
