I think my strategy of spamming out submissions to lots of publishers over the last year is definitely beginning to pay off.
I've had 4 acceptances from 35 submissions.
Also had 15 rejections.
I've written 22 stories over the last 7 months (so I've written 3 per month on average)

Kate Butch, what a star.
A little surprised by how great the overall quality is in DRUKvW this season... not to be too shady, but sometimes queens don't put as much effort into the Vs The World spin-off (to be fair, sometimes they're not able to for lots of different reasons).
Strong start so far.

I got to page 5 of 7 and that's enough for tonight- this story needs so much work!
And a new title- 'A Soup of Dragons' doesn't fit, so might change it to 'Gotta be Dragons' instead.
But that's for tomorrow- time to chill, then watch Drag Race UK vs the World

In honour of Saint Dwynwen's Day (Welsh Valentine's), here’s a #fakemon based on Love Spoons.
💕 It is said the first Llwygaru was born from the love between two people and the gifts they exchanged on their wedding day.

Anyway... aside from that SECOND bit of amazing news, I finished the first draft and given it a new name- 'A Soup of Dragons'
This needs a ton of edits to get it up to scratch, but that's for future me.

My opinion on this book might be slightly controversial- I found it a bit of a chore to read every now and then.
Good book though.

Just watched Wicked: For Good.
Enjoyed it overall.
Pacing was breakneck- felt like we were speedrunning the plot.
Glosses over Glinda being a fascist collaborator (in fact, she's rewarded for it), and it also seems to go out of the way to make Morrible seem worse than the wizard

Kinda just had another rejection... but more precisely, I self-rejected (withdrew) the short story after finding out the publisher not only extensively uses AI, but is a known transphobe.
Sent the story off somewhere else instead.
