Since this first week HAS had some success it is worth boasting about!
'Curve of early learning' was submitted to MuDJoB on 1st January, Michael Brown acknowledged receipt on the 2nd and published it on the 5th -
http://mudjob.blogspot.com/2011/01/guest-writer-sandra-davies.html - it is a story I actually began specifically for the site in August but has taken a long while to get the voice right. I am now in the process of researching and writing two more follow up pieces for submission later in the year.
I have also begun one story for later submission to Pygmy Giant ('Edith, only wife', a follow up to
'Edith, only daughter') and written seven Small Stones, six prompted pieces for Thinking Ten, and three pieces for Six Sentences.
Also 3000 words for the follow up to my NaNoWriMo novel 'Holding Steady' which is STILL undergoing editing.
Submission is the hard bit for me - I have done some research, but it is hard, hard, hard, and I really need to push myself more.
so that's 17 written, 1 submitted, 1 accepted ;)
ReplyDeletejust keep at it! don't forget that the "main" 6S site would also count as a submission ;)
Congrats, Sandra! Be sure to post a comment @ W1S1 tomorrow so we can add you to "The Writer Hall of Fame" on the sidebar.
