I have been my most productive and not just because we have been in a lockdown for most of 2020. Writing has saved me this year more than any other and I have ACTUAL GOOD NEWS to show for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><u>Here\u2019s what I did this year:<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Number of new stories completed: <strong>12<\/strong><\/li><li>Number of subs: <strong>30 <\/strong><\/li><li>Rejections: <strong>19<\/strong> (incl. multiple rejections per piece)<\/li><li>Acceptances: <strong>8<\/strong><\/li><li>Currently waiting for their forever homes: <strong>3 stories<\/strong><\/li><li>Revising &amp; resubmitting: <strong>3 stories<\/strong><\/li><li>Books Written: <strong>1<\/strong><\/li><li>Currently writing: <strong>1 story<\/strong><\/li><li>Currently Editing: <strong>1 novel!<\/strong><\/li><li>Currently In Need Of: <strong>More coffee<\/strong>!! (and a <strong>publisher<\/strong> for my novel still making the rounds)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><u>Story Acceptances:<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cast Away Stones <\/strong>&#8211; Published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1735693626\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gothic Blue Book VI: A Krampus Carol<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/burialday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Burial Day Books<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Neath The Old Tree<\/strong> &#8211; published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KH2K8H7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Women Of The Woods<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabledcollective.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fabled Collective<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Throwing The Bones, Beneath The Skin, Forewarned, Inscribed<\/strong> &#8211; Drabbles forthcoming in Dark Magic Drabble Collection from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eerieriverpublishing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eerie River Publishing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I Am What Grows In Shadowed Places<\/strong> &#8211; forthcoming in 99 Tiny Terrors from <a href=\"https:\/\/pulsepublishing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pulse Publishing<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Heart To Every Home<\/strong> &#8211; forthcoming in Hundred Word Horror from <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostorchidpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ghost Orchid Press<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0So, I have to say, I am pretty proud of my accomplishments this year. I submitted to those White Whale markets that I will keep sending my stories to until I make it in. I tried some new things (namely flash fiction and drabbles). I feel like I am honing my voice more and more each day. And I (almost) finished writing a novel alongside all those other stories (it&#8217;s done! I&#8217;m in my final round of revisions)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously some stories have had multiple rejections, but that\u2019s how the game goes. My highest number of rejections for one story this year is only 5. I\u2019ve had other stories that have taken 9 submissions before they found a home, so I feel pretty good about those stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I set my goals for 2021, I am going to work toward similar goals &#8211; write a bunch of new stories, send them out, revise and resubmit them when they are rejected and then celebrate those coveted publications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somehow this year wasn\u2019t a complete catastrophe in terms of my writing.
