300

Yet Another Milestone

Yesterday, Saturday 20 March 2010, I shipped my 300th submission to any market. Like my 200th submission, this was to Writers of the Future -- I believe my 32nd submission to that contest. Still have a little eligibility left. 62 completed stories sent out 300 times, with 14 publications and one more pending. Not bad for not even eight years of sending things out, if I do say so myself.

It took 1427 days after 9 June 2002 to get to the first hundred submissions on 6 May 2006, 725 days for my second hundred on 30 April 2008 and 689 days to the third hundred. #301 is already shipped and #302 should go out sometime in the next few days.

Hopefully I'll be able to do some more work on novels as well this year -- perhaps work on getting an agent. (double-grin)

Hurray! Congrats on the 300. I'm glad to see you have more survivors than the Spartans at Thermopylae :-)

Congrats on the milestone!

I like the idea that you're close to agent hunting as well. Hope this is the year of the novels.

That is impressive, Congrats!

Equally impressive is your system of tracking/analyzing your data. All I have is a folder of my rejections & acceptances--one virtual, one physical.

I cannot wait to read your novel! Good luck finishing up the rewrites.
