I just submitted the short note for publication! I'm so happy to have cleared this hurdle. I wrote this in October, submitted it in January and got it right back without review, and have heavily revised it over the last 5 months and added more data. So, here it goes again!
This paper is nothing big, and it's going to a journal with an impact factor <1. Still, I've done the vast majority of this myself (with advice from the coauthors), so it's an accomplishment for me. I've been hearing that first papers take a long time, and this is certainly the case for me. Maybe my next one will go more quickly!

I've heard that first papers take a long time, too. I'm still working on getting my first submitted, from research I did in 2008. I revised my first copy more than a year ago, and with various setbacks (including an extremely slow co-author) I've yet to even submit it yet!
Good luck! I hope it gets through this time.
Congratulations and good luck!
Thanks Jax! Thanks EGF!
Congratulations! I know what you mean about the first publication taking the longest. I've been working on my first publication for about two years now. Hopefully I'll have it submitted by the end of this summer.
I thought my first paper was going to be a review paper that I wanted to submit two years ago! Maybe this summer...
