Two Excellent Things
Nov. 8th, 2008 09:44 amFirst, my friend and I get to leave the hospital today. Soon. As in, by noon. I'm very happy. Serious. So is my friend.
Second, I got the best email from an editor. I turned in my stories for Colonial Gothic last week and this is what Richard told me this morning: "Good morning! Ok, I read the stories three times during the week, and each time I read them, I loved them even more. :) Seriously. You hit the nail on the head with them, and I happy to tell you, they are accepted. :) I will put the check in the mail on Monday. When I have the editors start editing, I will send you the red lines for your perusal. Honestly, great job. I am pleased as punch with them. :)"
Yes! I even made the "goal" victory sign when I read this. This is the exact response I'm looking for when I turn work in on commissioned projects. It's even better to be immediately paid for the work.
Colonial Gothic, 2nd Edition, will be out in July 2009
