I think I've mentioned it in passing, but one of my many literary goals for 2017 is to collect 100 rejections.
Last night, around 1am (so, technically, early this morning) I received my first official rejection for 2017. It was from Daily Science-Fiction, which I suspect will be one of MANY submissions that they reject this year.
However, that means I'm getting 1 rejection every 7 days right now, and that's far too slow. I need to be submitting something approximately every 3 days, so I'm going to send out 2 submissions in the next 3 days to "catch up" a bit. I have a few new markets that have opened up recently that I'm going to send stories off to, and we'll see what happens!
