Do not adjust the mirror ...
This is the home page for the writings of Scott Virtes.
I've been writing fiction & poetry since I was a kid, and my first
story was published in 1986. This page will give you pointers
to all my stuff on the web, and the latest news about what I'm working
on, and where my writing can be found.

| Poem counts - 2010-05-27 Some interesting stats. Shows how things can accumulate over the years if you just go slow but steady ...
Poems written per decade:
1980s: 518
1990s: 208
2000s: 787
2010s: oops, none yet!
Total Published (all years): 391
Yes, a few of these were self-published, but I'm not counting all the duplicates that have been published more than once, so it should balance out.
|
| Story counts - 2010-05-27 Some stats on my short stories:
Written: 337 stories; total 640,000 words
Published: 136 stories; total 192,000 words
Some percent of the stories are either too old to submit, or stuck in my "need work" limbo. Others just don't fit in with any market I can find, or have just been bouncing around for years with no luck. Okay, it's not like I send them out every week. Some have only been submitted two or three times, they just aren't high priorities.

Cool milestones: in 1997 I wrote my 200th story.
And in 1999 I wrote my 500,000th word of short fiction. Half a million
words, and my fingers are still going. The human body is quite a miraculous
thing. You'd think I'd be tired by now.
