I think I have mentioned this before here, because I have certainly discussed it elsewhere, but if I have not, let's face it: pretty people get further in life. And this is just as true in the writing industry as anywhere else.

Pick up any number of best-sellers and flip them over. You are most likely to see an attractive author as opposed to, say, me. This is just the way things are and there is no way to deny it! Pretty people get more out of life more quickly and more easily.

Now, I am not saying you need to grab the next plane and go get plastic surgery in Washington DC or LA or wherever else you think you can go without everyone knowing you did it, but if you are unhappy with your appearance, I see nothing wrong with making a few improvements on nature.

Because ugly people don't move units.
