I've gotten both rejection and acceptance 9 months to a year after submitting to agents/publishers with a 4-6 month response time. I was really surprised that the publisher even bothered with the year-late rejection!

Genevieve, I think I'm half right-brained (the creative writing side) and half left-brained (the record keeping side). I don't think it really matters whether or not you use notebooks or digital. I use everything.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-11716611505916545192013-02-12T22:55:30.434-05:002013-02-12T22:55:30.434-05:00You are a record keeper extraordinaire!!

That's as close to record keeping as I come.

I have sent 2 out last year and haven't heard from any of them yet. It's only been 3 months and they both respond only if interested. They never say when they will respond, but I usually stop holdong my breath after 6 months. But I did submit one this year and got a rejection in a week! That was a record.<br />Romelle Broashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860032539164234533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-14559473690395570512013-02-12T10:28:28.691-05:002013-02-12T10:28:28.691-05:00Nice breakdown.
