Back to Journal  « 2007 Submission Log: Weeks 41-42 | 2007 Submission Log Weeks 43-44 | Scott Pilgrim is in my Pants » 2007 Submission Log Weeks 43-44 November 11, 2007 Submissions 449-455 Sent stories to... Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show (my 3rd sub there) Strange Horizons (my 15th sub there) The Rambler (1st) Interzone (3rd) Realms of Fantasy (10th) and sent a short film to the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, TX (my 1st), and a short play to the Actor's Theater of Louisville (my 6th). Rejections 314-319 A Public Space (14 days, my 2nd rejection there ) Light (8 days; multiple rejections) Writers of the Future (honorable mention; 31 days; my 16th). Of interest: Fastest rejection ever (honorable mention, formerly known as quarterfinalist) from Writers of the Future, at 31 days. The stink of my stink must have become recognizable from the paper itself. I'll try and use plastic gloves next time. Current tally: 6 washes, 8 honorable quarterfinalists, 2 semifinalists. The Light rejection was an oddly-cut scrap of pink paper with the typed words "Not Quite." I'd thought this was my first sub there, but this looks familiar. Maybe I subbed there in college and lost the record of it. But what are the chances they haven't changed their M.O. in eight years? Should figure out this week whether my submission to the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest was too short (a big old probably, but they didn't specify a minimum wordcount). I even padded it with fun-but-unnecessary tangents by a good 500 words prior to submission, so I'll have to cut those out again before I determine which of the few novelette markets might be interested in it. My plays have been getting suckier and suckier, with the latest one unable to hold its own against the worst SNL skit. Comes from only writing one or two a year, I suppose. Maybe it's time to cut that cord. |
