Turning into a bloody good week this. Just got told a sci-fi/horror short story has got into the anthology No One Can Hear You Scream. *Break-dances*

Again exposure only, but as I said, got the plan!

    On A ROOOLLLLLLL!!!

    Well done, Lee. Your plan works ;)
  • Col BCol B
    Lee, it might be easier for you to run a thread naming the anthologies you've NOT got a story in!

    Damn good going, fella.

    Think I'm going to get a "Well done, Lee" key added to my computer! Congratulations! :)

    Just having a good couple of weeks is all, the bad ones will soon be back when every email open starts with 'Thank you for submitting' and the bottom lip curls a little.
  • Celtic CCeltic C
    Congratulations aren't just for getting acceptances, Lee - your submission rate seems phenomenal and no one achieves that without a deal of hard work en route.
    It's great motivation for those of us with more modest submission rates - well, for me anyhow! :)
  • MabhMabh
    Maybe Lee should open a 'have you sent your daily submission?' thread, which punches anyone who hasn't done so by 4pm each day.
  • dorothyddorothyd
    congratulations, Lee!

    Well done, Lee.
    Good to see the plan's working!
  • CarolCarol
    Well done, you're having a great week for successes.
  • LeeHLeeH
    Don't worry, I don't just shout about the acceptances, on my blog and site there is a score board that I keep for fun. I post every submission, then post whether it's a rejection, or acceptance and then mark it on the score board. It kind of makes me work that little bit harder because people can publicly see how it's going lol. I've noticed that also makes others more verbal about their own rejections instead of keeping them as if they are horrid, dirty, little secrets in the posts.

    If anyone's interested, this years current score Acceptances Utd 5 - Rejection City 4

    Hope United get a decisive victory! :)
  • CarolCarol
    At least you have scores on the board. :)
  • bochokbochok
    Well done, Lee!
  • Col BCol B
    For the first time in my life I hope United beat City (gosh writing that really hurt!).
    :)

    More good news. Congratulations, Lee.

    Quite clearly you ARE working hard, Lee - well done!
  • littlewandalittlewanda
    Great news, Lee. Well done!
  • DwightDwight
    That's a good idea, Lee: having a system for making yourself work harder. And well done on scoring 5 !!!
  • DaisyDaisy
    That's great news, Lee. Congratulations!
  • LilyCLilyC
    Splendiferous, and completely inspiring. Well done!
  • RosalieRosalie
    Well done Lee!!!

    Well done Lee.

    I'd love to write short stories but can never get beyond an idea.

    That's a great - though scary - idea. I keep a private tally as I'm sure every tber does (!) - but making it public is a great incentive. (Must look at the Anyone Writing thread for an update methinks.)

    Congrats and thanks for keeping us inspired.

    Congratulations once more! (Hmm. Methinks this thread will be at the top, thus confusing everyone.)
