Year End Round-Up

I don't usually do these, but I figure it can't do any harm as far as writerly accountability goes. For many reasons, it felt as though 2007 was an unproductive year; it felt like one of those years where I wrote a lot but didn't seem to get very far. The upside of that is that I have several bits'n'pieces that just need a little polishing off now and they'll be ready to submit, so hopefully it'll balance out in the end.

2007 Word Count (excluding edits, college papers, grocery lists...) = 184,506. Not great considering it was at around 100K in April...

Submissions = 7 (lame...)

Sales = 4 (three of them going live in 2007, one in early 2008).

Rejections = 3

More `yes please` than `no thanks`, so I guess that's moderately successful considering the low submission rate on my part. Aiming for three/four subs in January alone this year (yikes!), so I'll be on course to beat this year's quota.

And, just for a giggle...

Aims for the upcoming year: At least double the submission rate; beat out the word count; update this damn thing more often ;)
