Happy New Year from my micro-muse

The truth is (as I state above), I have no muse, but it is hard not to think I am being visited by somebody else's micro-muse.  I want to be working on a couple of exciting sci-fi stories, 2000 to 5000 words long probably, and instead I am writing short poems, short fiction, micro fiction.  I feel a bit like the guy in The World According to Garp.  Don't be surprised if you see a post soon which is only 55 characters long.  Then 25.  Then

The good news is that I got four more rejections.  The bad news is that I submitted thirteen more items (well, sort of, since four of them were summarily rejected, and two were then resubmitted elsewhere -- or something like that).  For those math geeks among you, this means that my acceptance rate has dropped to 27%, so with 68 submissions at 27%, I would get 18 to 19 acceptances, or with a more realistic 5% acceptance rate, I would still get three acceptances.  Of course, it isn't really a numbers game, but when you love math, everything is a numbers game.


Current status: 53 items in 68 submissions. Four new markets attempted,          Short, Fast, and Deadly, Silenced Press, Revival and Shepherd’s Check
