submissions are weird cause when you look at this table it doesnt look like a lot beyond it being a long time but those six rejections had me feeling like i was dragging myself through mud

#the withdrawns are how does an orca pray except the november one #that november submission was me being silly with my mom just died poetry #literally so funny how there's a six month gap between submissions if you take that one november one out #i didnt really realise because i had HDAOP forthcoming and then. well the horrors.#who wants insight into my submission table OMGGG #italics are tiered rejections i try not to put too much weight on them #like its nice which is why i italicise them they are motivating during the drought #but one of these was my first sub to a mag and then the next sub was a form rejection and at first i was like #OMG! downgrade #which is an oversimplified way to look at it really....#and i used to colour code but the red always bummed me out so its all Yes Green #and then bold for acceptances so i can still pick them out #but the rejections dont feel as in my face they kind of blur together this way #this also isnt my longest rejection streak that one is like. 10 #but that was all for the rabbit knows how to bury itself and i didnt know how to like. pick litmags as well so i just sent it anywhere LOL #whereas this is across 4 stories not including the acceptances #2 have 2 rejections so far and 2 have 1 #just submitted one of those after edits though OOOOH adrenaline #i am still a sensitive little guy from the horrors so like submitting is still so scary #but i have plans about my next submissions so it doesnt feel as like im putting all the weight onto one #like i know what ill send to this mag if they reject me #i have an IDEA of where i might send the story next #i have three submission plans lined up so hopefully i can get one of those out before i get this one back #my rejection stats are kinda funny its like #rabbit knows how to bury itself 10 rejections #how does an orca pray 3 rejections #piñata 0 #ghost of a 1970s leather daddy 0 #for the ones that have been accepted and then the ones still submitting are at 2 and 1 #most of them are on the lower side in hindsight then there's just that monster. who got me £500 LOL
