That was quick

Received a rejection for the January 1 submission. I'm not surprised, really. I just wish it took a little longer before the stories came back home. Next week, I'll start looking at possible markets for the next submission.

I've finally broken 40,000 words on the paranormal romance. I should be able to wrap it all up in another 10,000 words. Then will come the rereading, revisions and revelations (aka the things I didn't realize I had included until the second or third time through).

Good-bye 2014

I had set writing goals (500 words most days, send 1 submission per month) for 2014. Those who occasionally drop by here will note the lack of updates. Well, I'm not going to make word count goals for this year. Those just set me up to fail. I'm going to try a project view instead.

First, the 2014 round-up.

2014
Submissions - 13
Acceptances - 0
Rejections - 12
Outstanding - 1- I'm waiting for more information before I talk about this one.

Revised - 2 spicy romance novels (1 - the paranormal - requires further revisions as I discovered a few things during the revision process that I hadn't realized) Both revisions took place during Camp NaNoWriMo months

New - 2/3rds of a new paranormal romance / 2 short stories

2015 Goals

Submissions - 1 per month (I have already sent out January's.)
Projects - complete first draft of in-progress romance
              - complete 2nd revision of paranormal romance
              - restart Chaos #1

My only other goal is the perennial 'update this blog more often'.

Thanks for stopping by.
