For you stats nerds out there, here’s how my writing year looks like:
Submissions:
Total: 31
Acceptances: 5 (16% – a new record!)
Form rejections: 17 (55%)
Personal rejections: 9 (29%)
Sales breakdown
Pro: 1
Semi-pro: 3
Donation: 1
Anthologies:
Two of my sales resulted from personal solicitations from editors. One of those is a fundraiser (see Another anthology achievement unlocked), so that’s another milestone for me.
Works in progress:
Short stories: 8
Novella: 1
Overall, it’s been a pretty successful year. For 2018, I’d like to see more submissions, more exercise, better sleep, and less anxiety.
Guess I have some homework.
