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)

Thanks -- I just knew someone was going to do a 300 reference, especially since it was on TBS last night. (grin) Thing is, the Greeks won that war. So like all my rejections, I am willing to sacrifice now in order to secure the victory later. (double-grin)

Heh, I can't even watch TV in the US :-) But I took a degree in Latin and (ancient) history, so I was honestly thinking about Herodotus. My inner nerd strikes again :-)

Yay inner ancient history nerds!

Forgot to say: That sounds like a winning strategy :-) (and much better than Phyrric victories *g*).
