Back to Journal  « SALE! "Contents" to The Rambler | 2008 Submission Log Weeks 1 and 2 | The Dumb Man as Machinima » 2008 Submission Log Weeks 1 and 2 January 15, 2008 Submissions 476-481 Fantasy (my 3rd sub there) Helix (1st) Mythic Delirium (4th) Polyphony (2nd) Strange Horizons (16th) Talebones (6th) Rejections 335-339 Fantasy Magazine (33 days) Interzone (74 days) LCRW (35 days on an illustration) The Sun (110 days) Talebones (93 days) Acceptance 72 "Contents" to The Rambler (70 days) Of Interest Finally learning how to do Track Changes in Word for the Shimmer story copy-edit. I'm such a luddite! The no from Fantasy included editor Cat Rambo's note: "mainly because I've got something that's a little too similar in the pipeline," which tells me I'm getting closer there. Should find out today or so whether my entry into the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest (ABNA for the Google-watchers) made the first cut. Odds are in my favor (taking up to 20% of the entries) compared with most slush piles I end up in, but I've got no expectations. As mentioned here, I mainly submitted it because I needed to set it aside for a few months before the next revision... and always better to let something wait in a slush pile than on my hard drive. Still dealing with the head injury so I'm still happy to let it sit. A few weeks back, during my Christmas convalescence, Amazon.com uploaded a handful of excerpts including mine.... and then took them down quickly. It's as likely that these were used as test entries as it is an indicator that they've made it on some preliminary list, but I wouldn't put money behind either guess. |
