2006 Submission Log Cleanup, 2007 Targets
December 31, 2006

Finishing off the year with subs through 327 and Rejection #213:

Query to Fan-Atic Press (comics) and fiction subs to Clarkesworld (my 3rd), Fantasy (my 1st), and Lone Star Stories (my first fiction sub there). And the Lone Star rejection came within a few hours of sending it.

So for posterity's sake:

2006 Submissions: 73 for the year
2006 Rejections: 56 (including outstanding subs from 2005; 41)
2006 Milestones:
First pro fiction sale ("Outgoing" in Asimov's).
Biggest comics story acceptance/publication ("Persistent City" in The Florida Review).
Clarion attendance.
300th sub.
200th Rejection.

Currently Outstanding: 23 subs

Total subs since Nov 1998: 327
Rejections since Nov 1998: 213
Pulled/No Reply since Nov 1998: 49

Next year I intend to focus on longer works, so we'll see how those numbers do.

2007 milestone targets:
Novel finished (submission-ready), second novel begun.
Graphic novel script finished (submission- or artist-ready).
350th Submission, 250th Rejection.
Two more professional fiction sales.
Two more significant comics story publications.
First convention outside of home state.
