Today’s reblog comes from Aeryn Rudel, who breaks down the numbers on his remarkable 800 tracked story submissions over twelve years. This includes a few novel submissions, but the vast majority are short stories and flash fiction.

These statistics also show the power of writing a lot of flash fiction: there are simply more publishing slots available for flash fiction than any other kind of story.
