Oh, but I must not live in denial. Here, in gory detail, is my status report:
Stories written: Three
1.The Boy Band (still waiting for the green light from Australia to submit)
2.Intent (submitted to Nossa Morte)
3.White (submitted to the Hideous Evermore anthology)
Rejections: 15 (wince)
Acceptances: 1
Stories sent: 17 (More than were rejected, woot!)
Ah well, a new month means a new chance! I have three shorts planned for February, Ying helped me go over a map of Hong Kong and figure out where my character will be frolicking off to. Or rather, how he will frolick from point A to point B. And here's a good sign, I don't have to do anything in Aberdeen Harbor! I know that sounds random, but trust me, it makes my life MUCH easier. Then a quick story about Alaska, with a Devil's Food finisher (terror in Hong Kong!)
A merry new month to one and all : )

It sounds like we had the same month but February will be a killer. We will totally kick ass in the next month and rule the acceptances while we banish the rejection letters to a little place in the back of a fish market known more for food poisoning than the fillets.
I am so far behind - how is everyone managing to submit over a dozen stories a month?
It's not like you lot don't do anything but write. I mean, you all have a life outside of the keyboard.
Could it be that my study, and my reviews are taking too much time away from my writing?
@BT: I know, I was just thinking the same thing! I'm reading everyone's month end stats, and I just got trounced!
Natalie - all the best for February.
Remind me to avoid fish for a while.
Here's to February!
Oh that 'Hideous Evermore' anthology looks so cool - kudos for getting something out to them already.
