Submitting to the Black Hole
Thought I would post a link to a site I found through Critters workshop. It seems there is a list of the average response times for people who submit to various publishers. Also almost everyone who submits data to give their response time lists "Rejected" as their manuscript's status.
So basically, write something good, submit it, then forget about it for a long time and start writing something else. Rinse and repeat.
If you just write one novel for 20 years and submit it to one place, then you have to wait 254 days for a response, only to be rejected. That kind of eats up a lot of time, doesn't it?
