Agreed, Deadlight. Congrats to all! Even the Rejectomancy thread is sounding more positive these days.

Mighty fine method, indeed! Interestingly, it seems that stripping naked is an obligatory part of handling the royalties.

I said a couple of months back that I was confident that some morning soon I'd wake up to good news. Today was that morning.

47-day acceptance from Nature.

Yes, I've been smiling constantly since I read the email.

All right, Michael! I have no idea what Nature is, but the fact that you're smiling so long must mean it's extra high-five-worthy.

Huge congratulations to Michael Haynes on his first (of many to come) SFWA sale!

As for me, I also got good news from Nature this morning. They're buying "Ravages of Time" which is my third SFWA sale, allowing me to upgrade my SFWA membership from Associate to Active.

Nebula voting deadline is March 30. If SFWA handles the upgrade quickly, I may be able to vote this year! *squee*

In the hour since my last post, I learned that I sold my bizarro story, "Aquarium," to Drunk Monkeys.

And thanks to those who sent me congratulations -- I'm still smiling every time this crosses my mind (which is every few minutes).
