Spring is Here! (W1S1 update)


...Well it's spring here in the desert. Already hitting 80+ degrees. Seems nice now, but just you wait; it'll be boiling by the time May gets here.

So the stats for this month:

Stories written: 5! (I'm surprised by this, too. And not only written, but also all of them subbed in the same month.)
Stories submitted:18 (several of these re-submitted or sim-subbed)
Stories accepted: 1
Stories rejected:13


Lovecraft eZine accepted "A Hand Beyond" for a future issue. Squee! This was a story I wrote for Wily Writers--they rejected it, of course--while I was going through a Lovecraft reading frenzy. Glad it found a nice home.

I'm also surprised by the amount I wrote this month; it honestly doesn't feel that much. Probably because all but one of these stories were written in a day or two. And by some miracle, I managed to get my Biblio Fantastica story in at the last minute--as I busily worked on it last night and this morning. Just like writing an essay in uni. Fun, fun.

And now something from Youtube. If you don't know already, I'm a HUGE Florence + the Machine fan, and I adore her video "Never Let me Go," which came out earlier this month. It's weirdly gorgeous--if there is such a phrase--and I hope you enjoy it. :)

    I'm facing the opposite of your early desert summer - the rainy Pacific Northwest spring that drags on forever. Congrats on getting a story accepted, meeting your W1S1 goals, and having super productivity (whether it felt like it or not :-D).

      Ah, lucky you--I want some rain! All we get are grey clouds and some wind.

    Congratulations on meeting your W1S1 goal. This year I finally figured out that there are a lot of markets out there and I have a lot of old stories that should be out trying to earn a living. When I first read your blog I thought it said 51 stories written. I was impressed and depressed at the same time.

      51--ha! I wish. No, I was just surprised I wrote that much, although one story is ~800 words and another ~200--but they still count, right? :)

    That is an impressive list for one month. Congratulations.
