sinanjuI got an emailed rejection for "Ink" from Clarkesworld. So I sent it out again to the next market on the list. That was a quick response--less than 48 hours, just as advertised. The next market promises to be almost as quick.
Quick response times mean faster (and therefore more) rejections over a given period of time. But also means the possibility of a sale that much faster too. And it helps me practice Rejectomancy. I don't feel so disappointed now when I get a rejection. It's just the cost of doing business.
I did a little writing on the current story (tentatively entitled "Chicago Style" at the moment, though I'm hoping to conjure up a better title before I send it anywhere). Tomorrow, more writing. I want to get that story finished this week. And, ideally, a second story as well. Two weeks in a row now, I've failed completely to get two stories done. On the other hand, I've gotten one story written each week, so I've got that going for me.
Stories in Circulation: 12
Rejections: 13 <---Yes, still ANOTHER new one today
Stories Accepted: ONE!
