writing notes
12 Feb 2023 11:50 amIt's the 6th and final week of the annual flash fiction writing challenge on Codex, and I'm out of ideas. We get 6 prompts every week, and you write a story in up to 750 words. None of the prompts this week are gelling for me. I have a few starts, but I can't make any of them work. So it's fine, I guess. I wrote 5 stories in 5 weeks, even if most of them are going to sit in the abandoned folder in my gdocs forever.
One of them I've already submitted to several markets (and gotten rejections). One of them is a novel that I'm incapable of writing (Politics! Intrigue!); two of them could be short stories eventually.
My submission stats for 2023 are 11 submissions, 0 acceptances, 6 form rejections, 1 personal rejection. There are 6 in progress. (The numbers don't add up because two of the form Rs were submitted in 2022.)
Someday I'll figure out what Neil Clarke is looking for, or write something to his taste. But I always fling stories there first, because you can get a rejection within a few days (sometimes under 24 hours!) and he pays 12 cents a word.
