I am sorry. As a designated baseball nerd, I feel the need to correct your math. Since ye canna strike out twice on the same pitch (Bugs Bunny notwithstanding), in fact you have 18 sold stories and 16 submitted stories (according to your list) that did not sell.
Which is 34 stories. So 18 of 34 sold is a whopping .529 average! (I am counting 10 rejections and then a sale as, like, fouling off ten pitches.)
The moral of this story is, fouling off pitches is a great way to eventually get a hit. Which happens also to be true of baseball.
