To therinth and soniahelbig. An all-girls quarter again! We rock!!

(And my short "Taking A Mile" came in third, I should add, so this counts as a SALE!) ;o)

See here! WOTF BLOG
(OK, it wasn't posted yet last thing I checked, but it will be!)

ETA: And just to prove out the "What have you done for me lately?" mystique of writing, I got a rejection in the mail today from Dreams and Visions "I found this story to be a bit slow moving, but I would appreciate the chance to view more of your work." Rejectomancy rules require that I add that this was handwritten, which automatically makes it a better rejection....

Yeah, but you're going to be all jet-lagged for the first two days!

Oooh yes. Ouch! Last time I landed in the US I slept for a day.

Perhaps you could ask them to ship you in a day early? It's a really long batch of flights!

Congratulations!!! That's fantastic.

Yee Haw!!

How do you want to celebrate?

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

We'll see....

Re: Woohoooo!!!!!!

[soniahelbig.livejournal.com]

Great idea. Maybe even a week early . Hmmm.... I have a very dear friend in the US I haven't seen for 15 years that I'd love to catch up with too. I wonder if that would be a goer.

Can't hurt to ask....I'd say, why not? As long as you're willing to foot the interim housing bill, there really shouldn't make any difference to them, I would think...

oh, well done! pfft, on rejection and frame the one that scored!

It just goes to show that perspective is important.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Anthology Builder is most impressive, BTW. I've been looking at it, thinking about trying out an anthology. The price is very reasonable!

[nancyfulda.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the compliment :)

I've been scoping out some average-sized anthologies, and it works out to something between $1-$2 per story, depending on the length of the stories chosen. Really not bad, when you think about it ;)
