I’m restarting with new numbers. Let’s be honest… the market that I sent something to in May 2009 still hasn’t gotten around to reading anything submitted since April 2009. They’re a dead market no matter what good intentions the editor may have.
So prepare to be shocked. I submitted a short story and two poems this month. The short story resulted in a form letter rejection. I was slightly hopeful since according to Duotrope it was taking slightly longer than the average response time to hear back from the market.
The two poems went to the poetry contest for Ohioans. If I’m not invited to read either poem in April I will have my rejection.
Happy writing and submitting in March.
That’s great that you submit so regularly, and it’s fantastic that you write such a wide variety — short stories, poetry, blogging, etc. It truly expands your horizons as a writer.

Sometimes I think the variety spreads me a bit thin. I can count on you to see the bright side of things, Lisa.
