When this year began, I set some pretty lofty goals for myself. I've done decently so far but, I am not where I want to be. Yet.
These were my goals:
Send out 82 submissions for the year, Attain a 15% acceptance rate, win one writers competition and get published in at least five of my 50 Most Wanted Markets.
As of September 26, 2005, this is where I am:
I've sent out 104 submissions, attained a 7.69 acceptance rate (not too bad for only the second year of dedicated submitting), I've not won a contest yet this year but I've placed second twice and have gotten into none of those desired markets... though there is some small hope, I have work out at several of them.
I can now Google myself and, though it wasn't a goal of mine, it is sort of neat.
That's the status as of tonight but it's an ever changing set of numbers.
I'll be updating this as I go, as the numbers change.
