Curiosity got the better of me, so I went and took the trouble to plot stories against first submission date. I haven’t been recording the actual date written, so this is the closest thing I have. Several of the pre-bootcamp stories sat on my hard drive for several months before I submitted them, all of those were flash.
I still don’t see any real pattern, maybe because I write the story in my head first, and it just is as long as it is. I’m not sure what all this proves, but here it is.
I really didn’t intend for you to put so much extra time into this. (Although, we could stratify it by genre, or look for seasonal trends, or ….)
Let me be clear this time, Rick: I’m kidding!
Have fun,
Gray
