Wow, what an incredibly long and will-sapping month that was!

I’ve made 64 submissions. 25 rejections. 0 acceptances. 1 holds.

SALES & ACCEPTANCES:-No sales or acceptances as yet.

CAVEAT:-Be aware, I am now adding stubs for titles which have sold, but I’ve not yet received official permission to announce as sold yet.

There are currently 56 stories out in submission:-

PUBLISHED THIS YEAR:
Yard Sale Witch, The Lorelei Signal. Jan 7th, 24.
Tuck & Roll. Automobilia, Omicronworld, Jan 19th, 24.

LESSONS LEARNED:-(This is a new segment, I’ll be adding tips for myself for future blogs.)
Add sales as stubs as once received. Temp entries until announced then replace with official info.
Add releases when info is received to Shape Of Things To Come, so I don’t forget.
Add stubs to Shape Of Things To Come for unannounced sales.
Create entries for the Submission Challenge each day, as they come in or go out.
I removed the Stories On Hold section as I didn’t want any markets to feel pressure to buy stuff.

Some stuff I can’t talk about because it’s not announced yet.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS:- I wrote 1 new story, 100 words long. I did have an idea for a novel, I’m doing my level best to persuade myself I haven’t got the time to write it.
