babarnettBlog time seems so much longer than real world time. I was just thinking, "Wow, I haven't posted an entry in ages." But then I looked, and it's only been two weeks.
Anyway, there's not a heck of a lot to post about at present--unless you want to hear me wallow in self-pity, which I doubt you do. So I figure I'll take a stab at doing one of those monthly progress reports some of my fellow writerly types do.
NOVEMBER
Books Read: The Secret History of Moscow
Stories Revised: 2 ("The Perfect Instrument" at 7,400 words & "A Song Never Tasted" at 4,700 words)
New Stories Written: 1 ("Black Cat Redux" at 2,200 words)
Submissions Sent: 9
Total Stories Out: 16
Acceptances: Big fat zip, putting the current dry spell at a few days shy of 4 months
Rejections: 9, including a very nice one from Cemetery Dance: "Beautifully written and nice take on the haunted house story. This one came close for me--hope to see another one sometime soon!" Of course, other things came along soon after to crush my ego after that minor boost. *shakes fist* Khaaaaaaan!
Novel Revision Progress: Halfway through tinkering with chapter 1 to give one of the characters a much-needed personality transplant
