2005 statistics
10 pieces submitted:
Of these, two of the shorts have been submitted twice, as have two of the flash pieces.
4 acceptances:
6 rejections:
The shorts are out at new markets, as is one of the flash pieces. I need to look at the other two flash pieces and decide if they are really complete in themselves or if they should be fleshed out into shorts.
4 no response yet:
4/10 isn't a bad acceptance rate. Even if one discards the reviews from the count, 1/3 isn't bad at all. I expect that will go down as I put more work out. That's normal.
But for a year when I wrote around 180,000 words, that's not a lot done. So where did it all go? Some is in worldbuilding and outlining, in novels that have been started and are on the agenda for completion, a few short stories started but not yet finished, the class I did on sensory perception on Forward Motion, and in crits (yeah, I count these because they increase my awareness of writing).
This year, I'd like to try (though it may fall by the wayside) to monitor how many words go to each area. I also plan to increase both the total words written and number of submissions made.
