So, here is the look at things from 2009 that are specifically writing related.

Two acceptances carried over from 2008, The Legless Ones in The Black Garden Anthology, and It Never Lasts Forever in 52 Stitches ‘zine AND Anthology.

I did not finish any of the novels in progress.

I wrote 7 new shorts, and perhaps some day I’ll fix ‘em up and get ‘em into circulation.

I’ve lost count of the reviews, interviews, and other non-fiction stuff I wrote this year. I was going to re-tally, but I don’t know. The troubles I’ve been having at AC really killed that fire, and I know I was going to set up another blog and do them there, but… Stuff. Happened. Before we open for submissions at Belfire and TNBP, I’m going to try again at AC.

I submitted 27 times in 2009, had 8 acceptances, and 15 rejections – 4 submissions are still out. According to Duotrope I have a 15% acceptance ratio for the last 12 months. I guess I’m happy with that, although my head is telling me a third of my submissions were accepted, so wouldn’t that make it 33%?

Anyone?

Bueller?

As I said in my last post, only one of the submissions accepted last year was published last year. And that makes 3 publications in 2009.

This year the goal list looks much the same as last, only I’m knocking out most of the novels, and maybe I’ll actually get something done!
