>I will be traditionally published
I was so sure I could. Then I participated in a small writing contest just to test how good I was and didn't even get among the 20 finalists. If some scummy magazine jury wouldn't give me the time of day, there's not a snowball's chance in hell any credible publisher would look at my work.

At the beginning of my story, the protagonist is in an improvised field hospital with hellish conditions and a shortage of everything. The story briefly describes wounded he sees brought in and dying. Do you think this is too harsh to open with? I wouldn't want the reader to be repulsed into dropping the book in the first few pages.
