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.

Submission Update

I received a rejection for January's submission. Still have February's out there and am readying March's to go near the first of the month.

February 1

I'm still waiting to hear on the January submission. The market closes today, so I'll likely hear within the next month.

I just sent February's submission. According to the market information, I'll hear by the end of March.

If nothing else, publishing teaches you patience.

January Stats:


Total Words - 5,621
Completed - 1 short story / 1 'hard to write' scene
Submissions - 1
Days with writing related activity - 31
