New Year's Resolutions

kfabianMy writerly New Year's resolution is to get twelve rejection letters this year.
If I manage it, at least I'll get a sense of achievement. And if I don't manage it because I get a few pesky non-rejection letters, well, I suppose I'll cope.
However, if I don't manage it because I don't send enough stories out, there's a slight risk that come November I will start my own SF&F magazine just for the purpose of rejecting myself.
The plan needs some work, I'll admit, but I think the basic idea is sound.

Dear Katherine,
Thank you for your recent submission to People In A Sci Fi Setting Fail To Talk About Their Feelings. We are sorry to inform you that you still need to do the washing up from last night, you owe your flatmate $57 for bills, it looks like it's going to rain tomorrow, and we're not actually a real magazine.
But thanks anyway,
Katherine
