Got word today that a competition that I'd entered with my brother got nowhere. This is the third contest in as many weeks that I've entered and gone nowhere with. Got my hopes up and all, but no go. I'm remembering the stories I've heard of writers that send their books to many many publishers before getting a bite. The min I've heard for even great writers is 12 with 27-28 sounding about right in my head. So I'm on my way, only 9-25 more things to enter before it's time to take a break from the trying.
On a related note I've found that the things that really connect with people that I do have no correlation between what I think people will bite at and what I think they won't. If I ever figure it out I'll let you know that I've got it. I just won't tell you what it is. That's the hard part you know.
