Rejections & Sales
So Jay Lake wrote a post in regards to rejections here. This sent me searching through my records and believe it or not I rarely look at my rejection count or even compare the sales to rejections.
I'm pleased with what I found out. I also found out my record keeping hasn't been too terrible. Here's what I posted over at Jay's journal:

Closing of The Year
I sent my first short story from Arizona two days before Christmas. That felt good. It's a way to establish roots here ( Read more... ) -
Oregon, Cold. Arizona, Hot.
My sympathies to all my old friends in the Pacific Northwest. Snow, cold, and gray. The commute to work would have been horrible if we had still been living there--I definitely wouldn't have been biking in it ( Read more... ) -
Cell Phone Reaction
For the first time in my life I find myself with a cell phone and I'm thrilled at all the information ready in the palm of my hand. I'm not a phone person which was why it took me so long to get a cell phone. I'm just not a big talker on the phone. But the cell phone offers so much more than talking. There's texting.

Here In Arizona
Finally obtained some Internet access (at a library) and here I am with a quick update.
OryCon was a welcome break to packing. Saying goodbye was a little more awkward than I had expected. Didn't seem like we were leaving at all, seemed like there would be another Con around the corner and we'd be seeing these very same people. There is a good ( Read more... ) -
OryCon, take me away
The flu is nothing more than just a few sniffles and a raw throat in the evening. Physically, I feel at 100 ( Read more... ) -
Poor Timing
One annoying flu bug has bitten me during all this moving business. First, a couple weeks ago, (and if this is the same bit of flu) I had weekend cold. Just the sniffles and it went away by Monday. Then this last Tuesday morning I wake up with a sore throat. I go to work thinking I could deal with it. Ha! By the end of my shift, I was ( Read more... ) -
The move moving along
One great place to get free boxes for moving is the liquor store, or even the beer and wine section of Market of Choice. Now if one comes into our apartment and glimpses the stacks of beer and liquor (and, yes, some wine) boxes, they'll believe we're throwing one hell of a party ( Read more... ) -
Finally Made It Here
We just got cell phones. First time ever for me having a cell phone. We're finally here in the twenty-first century! Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
Now, maybe, someday we won't have our Internet access by dial-up. :-)

Short Jury Duty Day
My stint at jury duty didn't come to much. When I went in and explained about a cross-country move coming up, I was told the available trials wouldn't last more than two or three days and that there were no murder trials. Whew ( Read more... )
