Two rejections today:
My 50th rejection! A 74-day rejection from Writers of the Future, for the quarter ending June 30th. This was my seventh submission to the contest.
R#51 – A 1-day friendly reject from Lone Star Stories. Gotta love the quick turnaround.
Two submissions today:
Sub#60 – to Baen’s Universe (my second sub there)
Sub#61 – to F&SF (my 11th sub there)
And, last but not least, 500 words on my new story.
Ream of paper — $10
Printer — $200
Writing a story — blood, sweat, and tears
50th rejection — well, it ain’t priceless, that’s for sure ;)
Nope, definitely not priceless :)
Alas, me too! My third honorable mention…

Alas! Do you have something in for next quarter? (I don’t, at this point, but I might have something by the 30th depending on how things bounce around at other markets.)
Unless I get the story I just started into shape in the next few weeks, then the only story I have available contains explicit sex. Their guidelines, unfortunately, rule it out…

keep submitting. keep submitting. keep submitting. (repeat)
Exactly!
Congrats on the rejection milestone!
Alex.
Thanks :) Congrats to you too, for your 300th!
