The Good News Thread
« on: March 07, 2009, 09:22:34 PM »
I'm not on the boards as much as I used to be, and I like to read about everyone's successes.  I'm sure I've missed plenty!  If you post them somewhere else, post them here too--wether it be a sold story, promotion at work, new baby, marriage or lottery winning.

Cheers!

I just finished my new novel two days ago.  I've been working on this thing for over two years, so I am very relieved to be able to move onto something else finally.

Kody, why are you in drag in your profile photo?

I not only was accepted into an anthology, but got a phone call from the publisher with a fantastic compliment. And I am getting 'paid' for the story, too.

Hiya, Bobbie!

I just found out I'm getting the cover story for the May issue of Creative Screenwriting.  I got a quasi-cover on the new issue, but this'll be the first one that's all mine.  :)
