Five weeks, 22 stories worked on, 5 revised, 16 submitted

I sat down today to check in after an intense week of novella revision. I needed to decide which short story to revise for my sixth and final revision to meet my Clarion West write-a-thon goal. *

Because I've been submitting as I've been revising, doing little nips and tucks here and there, I honestly couldn't remember which stories I'd revised for the writeathon. So I went into my "recent files" list, scrolled back to early June, and counted. 

Blink. Blink. Wow.

I've actually worked on **twenty-two** stories at some level during the last five weeks, and drafted three new ones (only one of which is likely to survive to adulthood). I've submitted stories 16 times since early June, which for me is amazing 'cuz I'm not great at getting stories out there.  

So. Awesome! I'm doing this every summer from now on! Um. But I still need to decide which story to work on next. LOL.

The write-a-thon raises money for it. Many of your favorite SF authors may be taking part; Clarion West and Clarion San Diego are well-respected. Check it out!
