Ha! You’re definitely not the only one. Over 120 of my submissions were rejected last year. I’m on a similar pace this year. 🙂

Just to show how subjective this business is. And the “needs of the moment.”

I think you’ve got a pretty good record going. So your Ouji board must be working a least part of the time.

Impressive list! Do you have a disciplined goal of x submissions per week? Or maybe intuition dictates which ones go where? Clearly, your efforts pay off – a fantastic example for all of us.

I don’t have a quota, but often will send out rejected poems within days of rejection. I do attempt to match poems to certain publications (with mixed success), and will of course read journals to see if my style might be amenable. It’s mostly a matter of simply taking the plunge and pushing the stuff out there. And though I’m not a fast writer, I am steady, and produce quite a few finished pieces every month, which gives me more to put in the pipeline.
