Notes to table:
1. A story is added to the total number for a date
range only after it has been published. Total includes feature stories,
news stories and opinion pieces.
2. Word count means the total number of words published for a date
range. It includes the story's intro and the main text of the story
only.
3. First story published 23 September 2009.
4. At this point in time I shift the focus of my attention away from a magazine
that provides only editorial and publishing services, to
magazines that in addition pay the writer for stories.
5. I wound down activity during this period as I harboured plans to return to university for further study. Those plans were finally dropped.
