Congrats to all on recent news. Willie - can we all party when you hit 200?

And there it is - Story #200 is a short, Lacunae, sold to Nature Futures. (my 3rd sale there.)

There's a couple of beers in my immediate future.

Congrats, Willie and Simon!

And I join Willie also with a sale to Nature. "The Rumination on What Isn't" has been accepted earlier today. Story #52 and my fourth at Nature.

I signed a contract on something under a different pen name for a print anthology today. Which officially puts me at 26 short story/micro-fiction sales/acceptances since March 2011 (when I started W1S1).

(I thought I was just hitting 25 which is a milestone, but realized there was one to a market that's not in The Grinder. >_< Guess I already passed that milestone. Heading for 50 next.)

A 29 day acceptance from Stupefying Stories for my first accepted story ever!

I wanted to thank everyone who posts regularly on the W1S1 forum. I've been lurking for the past several months, and seeing everyone's successes (and failures) has helped build up my confidence to submit my own fiction. Sites like this are invaluable for beginning writers. Keep up the good work!

Awesome, brandon! Congrats! I'm sure this will be the first sale of many.

Also, welcome to AW :)

My story "Earthen" just sold to Looking Landwards, a NewCon Press anthology. This is a 2011 W1S1, and the second short fiction that I wrote last year; third story sale since joining with 28 poetry sales.

"Earthen" is my 40th W1S1 publication, 50 for my career, and my 31st sale! I'm having a party. Another party at 50 sales.

Now that I'm home from my adventure at Odyssey, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things with W1S1. Congrats on all the recent success around these parts!
