It's time to tend the submissions garden again. I've been so focused on writing more stories for my fairy tale anthology Happily Never After that I've been letting my submissions go to seed. I need to query non-responders and find new markets to send the stories that aren't out right now.
Here's where I am today: of the nine stories that I think are good enough to submit, four have been published. And while it's not a big sample, so far I'm averaging six rejections of a story before I find a place to publish it. My take-away from this is that it's just as important to submit (and to keep submitting) as it is to write. After all, we write because we want other people to see our ideas. Right?
