I woke this morning to my second acceptance of year, this for a 4,100-word bit of crime fiction.

1

I received my first acceptance of the year this afternoon, this for an 800-word romance.

Eighteen

I completed and submitted my eighteenth short story of the year this afternoon. This one's a 3,200-word bit of crime fiction inspired by a group conversation after dinner at ShortCon.

Seventeen

I completed and submitted by seventeenth short story of the year this afternoon. This one's a 4,100-word April Fool crime story. 

Sixteen, 30

This morning I finished my sixteenth story of the year—a novella co-authored with Joseph S. Walker—and it became my 30th acceptance of the year. Ths one's a bit of a cheat as I'm editor of the project.

28, 29

Since my last post, I've received my 28th and 29th acceptances of the year: one for a short romance and the other for a bit of crime fiction.

27

I received my 27th acceptance of the year this afternoon, this for a 3,600-word bit of crime fiction.

26

I received my 26th acceptance of the year this afternoon, this for a 3,500-word bit of crime fiction.

25

I received my 25th acceptance of the year this morning, this for a 1,400-word bit of crime fiction.

24

I received my 24th acceptance this morning, this for a short essay.

Fifteen

I finished, but have not yet submitted, my fifteenth story of the year. This one's a bit of horror flash I found on my computer than just needed a final polish.

Fourteen

I finished my fourteenth story of the year this after noon. It's a bit of crime/horror flash I found on my computer earlier today. It only needed a slight polish and a title, so not much actual work on it today. I don't yet know where I might submit it, but at least it's finished.

Thirteen

I completed and submitted my thirteenth short story of the year this afternoon. This one's a 6,400-word bit of crime fiction about a mugging gone wrong.

22, 23

I received my 22nd and 23rd acceptances of the year this morning, both for short romances.

21

I received my 21st acceptance of the year this afternoon, this time a bit of crime fiction for a music-themed anthology.

Twelve

I finished and submitted my twelfth short story of the year this evening. This one's a 3,500-word bit of erotic crime fiction written for a open anthology call.

20

I received my 20th acceptance of the year a few minutes ago, the first time in quite a while I've had two acceptances the same day. Anyhow, this one's a 2,100-word cozyish mystery. 

19

I awoke to my 19th acceptance of the year. This one's for a short romance. 

18

I received my 18th acceptance of the year this morning, after making some some small revisions over the weekend. Though this is—after revisions—a 3,900-word story that begins  with a crime, it is more action/adventure than straight-ahead crime fiction.

17

I received my 17th acceptance of the year this morning, this for a 4,000-word PI story.
