Why I Have a Submission Spreadsheet
Excerpt from my evening:
Me: *spots title on spreadsheet* "Wait, which one was that story?" *opens .rtf file* "Oh, right, that one... which is not the one I submitted to that one anthology, that was the other one. Wait, where did I submit this one?" *scrolls to where I have it listed* "Oh, RIGHT, that other anthology!"
Seriously, up-and-coming writers, listen when they tell you to make a spreadsheet. (The only thing not on my spreadsheet is "Hunting for Ice Demons" and that's because it was sold long before I was doing this regularly or seriously.)
