Hey, I just sent out my 100th story. 100 different stories written to try to get published.
That doesn't count around 30 I wrote for a certain contest I can't send anywhere else. But I've done better with those stories... one sold as a HM, one was written well enough to make it but was rejected because they had bought one already. And another was very close.
And it doesn't count a bunch that aren't for prime time and a few others for practice.
I sent this one to Lightspeed so I will be hearing back in no time and it can go out to Asimov's or Analog.
The 99th one is at Universe Annex hopefully being looked at but so far maybe not. Eventually that one may go to Beneath Ceaseless Skies after I change a car into a wagon.
I decided I needed a place to vent and/or to celebrate about writing. I'm a Wordsmith: stories, novels, poems, religious statements, political commentaries. I Post on writing: how to-venting-updates on my writing, and on anything I'm excited about. I will also be posting a story or three. And I review on books and /or writers I'm reading and anything else that might strike my fancy such as concerts I've been to, adventure dreams I recall etc..
Best of luck with your 100th!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, LD. I wish my portfolio had that many stories. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martin.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the number of things post I mention other stories in the works and I have more ideas. :)
I like writing too much to stop. :)
