Poet/Writer Meme--Vital Stats

Deborah at 32 Poems posted this meme a bit ago, and I thought it would be fund to adapt to the writers and book reviewers who read my site.

Simply copy the questions and answer them on your blog. I won't tag anyone, so it's up to you if you want to do it in the comments or in your own post.

Age when I first got my hands on a good word processor: 16

Age when I first submitted a short story/poem/review to a magazine: 15

Rejections prior to first short story/poem/review sale: Hasn't happened yet, unless you count review copies as payment.

Age when I sold my first short story/poem/review: See above.

Approximate number of short stories/poems/reviews sold: 1

Year I first published a book: Hasn't happened yet

Books published or delivered and in the pipeline: None

I might do this one, too. Thanks for posting this.

You're not telling your age? I guess you wouldn't want me spilling the beans. LOL
