OH I ESPECIALLY HOPE IT'S LIKED THEN.

Woo hoo! Whatever happens, you gotta take that first step. :)

zanylikethat December 28 2011, 01:33:58 UTC

Exactly! Overcoming that first fear is huge. So yay!

Nice. It's a big step.

One recommendation, if you're serious about writing and submitting: build a spreadsheet that lists that stories that you've got out at the markets, and list where you have things submitted. Response times vary quite a bit, and it's easy to forget where a story is at any given moment. I've got mine listed out by price paid, so stories will go to the higher paying markets first, then descend downwards.

Oh holy shit, that is SUCH a good idea. I am way too scatterbrained and whatnot to think of that on my own. I love it!

You're a smart man, sir.
