Rejection Goal: 90/100
With two weeks left in the year, I have officially hit 90 rejections for short stories and manuscripts. Unfortunately, given recent events (especially adopting a new dog that has needed some extra care and attention to help him adapt to his new home) as well as the length of time…

My Writing Space
