Interested in finding out how much of writing involves waiting? Look no further. I’ve been trying to shop around a 2100-word short story for a while. No bites so far. Here’s my record of numbers:

First date submitted: October 2016
Number of submissions: 5
Number of responses: 4
Quickest response time: 7 days
Longest response time: 8 months

Extra notes: Two personalized rejections, one form rejection. One of the customized rejections went into a number of details and featured opinions from multiple reviewers.
