It depends. Recently, I've mostly been getting the "not right for us" rejections, in which case there's nothing really to do but shrug and move on. If the rejection letter offers a criticism I agree with (and that experience can be a special bolt of agony all its own--because, of course, if I'd thought of it myself, I wouldn't have sent the story out without fixing it to begin with), obviously I fix it. If it offers a criticism I don't agree with, or am doubtful about, I send the story out again. Often, the next rejection letter will cite the exact opposite as the reason for turning the story down. If several editors make the same criticism, I'll reassess the story. Sometimes I find I agree with them. Sometimes I find I don't.
