Seems like awhile since I've done one of these... So how did March (month of madness) turn out?

Well nothing too crazy. Although if you wanna talk crazy, check out "Not enough Hairspray" published this month in Third Flation's Universe Horribilis anthology.
Not much else to say, other than I absolutely despise the new 'compose email' interface on Gmail. Once again, they took something that worked just fine and screwed it up. Why do I need a separate window to compose an email? Is toggling tabs too much for people? Apparently so, because now you have to pop the damn window out, adjust the size so you can attach a document, get an error message that it didn't save (when it did), reference your draft email because you can't tell if the document actually attached just be looking at the email itself, get another error message when you try to send your email, therefore accidentally submitting the same email twice to an editor.
I'm done with Gmail, you fucks. I'm getting a 1&1 private domain instead.
Anyway... Happy Easter everyone!
Way to go on meeting/beating your W1S1 goals! 29 subs in one month? Holy cow...I need to step up my game.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I also had quite a few swift rejections, so that meant extra submissions in that month. I don't like a submission sitting around too long, so I send them right back out.
DeleteCongratulations on meeting your W1S1 goals. 29 subs is awesome. The very best of luck with them all.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI'm sorry Gmail is pissing you off, but glad to see you have a solution in place :) Congratulations on beating your W1S1 goals in March and good luck for April :)

1&1 is far superior, so yes, I'm glad I found it. Now if I only I could figure out how to forward all my Gmail emails to my 1&1 account...
DeleteYour numbers are excellent, and I imagine your 0 acceptance has something to do with aiming high, but don't stop that.
ReplyDeleteHotmail just changed their interface too, and while it doesn't have the problems that Gmail has, not yet anyway, I was happy with the old one; it worked just fine.
Best of luck in April and beyond!
Well, better to aim high than low, right? :)
DeleteYeah, Hotmail is gearing up for their merger with Skype, which means you have to download Skype just to read your stinkin' emails. It's ludicrous!
