I've sent out my 100th manuscript submission today! I began June 18th of this year and going strong every since! I haven't received many back yet, maybe a quarter or less. One rejection was even handwritten on! "Thank you! Please try us again soon!"

Most of my mss are children's poetry, but not all. I have a few children's stories for magazines and picture books, kid's devotionals, and poetry for magazines and picture books.

I've had several devotional stories published years ago for Keys for Kids, so I thought I'd try my hand at them again, so I've got 12 sent out to them.

The magazines I'm sending to so far are the Cricket mags: Babybug, Ladybug, and Spider (there are more).

The book publisher I'm sending stuff to is Houghton Mifflin.

My fingers are crossed! (when they're not typing, that is! )
