Writing & Publishing Stats for the Decade

Does anyone else keep a super OCD record of the stories or poems that they've submitted for publication and which ones get rejected or published? I've had a system in place since I started actively submitting back in late 2011/early 2012 that's been a good motivator to keep kicking my ass into doing the work necessary to get my writing out into the world. It helps me personally to look at the numbers going into the next year to see where I can improve and what areas need to be worked on.

2012: submitted stories to 15 places - 3 published
2013: submitted stories to 148 places - 4 published
2014: submitted stories to 244 places - 8 published
2015: submitted stories to 270 places - 10 published
2016: submitted stories to 108 places - 3 published / released "Scaring the Stars into Submission"
2017: submitted stories to 122 places - 2 published
2018: submitted stories to 52 places - 0 published
2019: submitted stories to 219 places - 8 published / released "The Machinery of the Heart: Love Stories"

704 rejections, 257 withdrawals
