I reported in my last post that I'd turned down an offer to pub one of my PBs. Since then, I've subbed a bunch more (over 30 new subs went out). Here be los nombres:

Unique MG/YA: 2
> New subs this month: 0
Total rejections: 15
Form: 12
Personal: 3

> Negative: 0
* meaning anything that directly references my submission by more than title
Total manuscript requests: 0
Partials: 0

Mood Meter (on a scale of -5 to +5 with -5 being downright rotten and +5 being ecstatic): 2.5
Change from last month: +1.7
(Last month was a low point, but I'm convinced I made the right decision. +0.5 for that. Another +2.0 for getting out another 30+ subs. -0.5 for not hearing anything back from anyone. IS EVERYONE AT CONFERENCES? Also, -0.3 for not going to #LA10SCBWI)
Been a busy month with the kids, too, so I'm not feeling I got much writing done. Once the kids go back to school, that'll change.
I'm hoping it gets better for you. Sometimes it just take a lot longer than we want it to.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose. I've heard from a lot of writer friends experiencing the same radio silence from editors and agents. This rather unusual celestial alignment of poor economy, more writers writing better material, global paradigm shifts in e/publishing, and conferences has made for a horribly frustrating summer for many.
