The old-time carnies know about those fuchsia nights when the red and blue lights ignite and fill the inside of the Big Top and dazzle the gillies' eyes so they'll pay a little extra during the come-in for elephant rides and cheap trinkets. The kids' eyes are bright with excitement when the Grand Entrance starts. It gets you, and right then, you know you just have to join the circus. If not, you get left behind when the fuchsia nights end and the show moves on, and you wonder why you didn't take the chance when you had it.

Submissions: are no longer being accepted. TS has closed down. But feel free to peruse our archived stories and interviews.
Tuesday Shorts placed writers we know alongside those we don't to communicate that quality writers are everywhere, and make one community. Writing—no matter how frustrating an endeavor it can sometimes become—should always be a challenging game we can all play.
Jacquelyn Mitchard, whose Deep End of the Ocean was the first Oprah's Book Club selection, not only recommended making Tuesday Shorts a MySpace blog, but also contributed the first piece. More excellent work followed by writers known and unknown, and pieces continue to draw readers who want a good story but only have a minute to read it.
