It's a sale!

I got home today to find my first story contract waiting for me! I guess that makes it official (although I was told by one person it's not a "real" sale until I get the check, but that person was only married to a SFWA member so what do they know). Well, this won't exactly get me into SFWA or HWA or anything, but to hell with the snobs who think it's not good enough, it's my first sale and I'm happy about it!:)

I didn't get much done over the weekend because the cold or whatever I had come down with drained me of energy, but my roommate and I got a Christmas tree (as he said, "An Atheist and a Jew go out to buy a Christmas Tree...". We're still trying to figure out the punch line.) It gives the cats a new place to hide out:). I also actually managed to finish a book - "A Scanner Darkly" by Philip K. Dick, which means I can finally watch the movie.

Wish I could have spent more time with you on Sunday at Loscon.

Congrats on the story/book sale. They don't really know that much the snooty ones.

Bruce is in Tullahoma, TN so I'm working on the apartment by myself...great fun. Need to find a job.

Take care and Happy Holidays.

Thanks! Yeah, I wish I could have spent longer at Loscon! It was a crazy weekend, and I had a guitar final Tuesday to study for.

Too bad he's not around. I'm sure it'll help to find a job! Good luck with that!

Happy Holidays to you too!

Congrabumalations!

You'll have to let us all know where we can pick up a copy of the story when it's published. :)
