30 Submissions or Queries in 30 Days

[kohuether]

I am doing this. I started yesterday. Does anyone want to join in?

For me, I am starting to submit to publications again (either online or print) and am using this challenge to give things a jump start and to encourage consistency.

I think that's a really good, reasonable goal.

Thank you - it always works well for me because at the end of the month, it has measurable progress. Plus you are so busy actually trying to get the submissions in, there's no time to really think or worry about "rejection". It becomes irrelevant!

I love this idea Obviously I am late to the party haha. But I might try this for July

I was doing a query a day when I was actively querying. But when it came to short stories, I could only submit about one a week. I didn't have enough stories that I felt confident enough to submit any faster than that.

Best of luck with your goals!

I would love to try this for July.

Doing this. It's a great idea to keep me working, and creating ideas and content/getting paid.

This cracked me up. I can envision it not being good!

I am mixing it up between already written pieces and queries though so I should be good. I fell behind because I just got back from Rome. Ah, summer. :-)

This sounds like an exciting challenge. Good luck!
