I sold "Singing Them Back" to Baen's Universe this evening. They were the ones who wanted revisions.

I am particularly amused because the first story of mine they bought was "The Opposite of Pomegranates," which was inspired by a pair of [livejournal.com profile] elisem earrings called "'Oh, yeah?' said the rock sprite." They happen to be the earrings I got to match my first [livejournal.com profile] elisem necklace...which is "Singing Them Back."

Congratulations! Obviously, you need more Elisem's jewelry.

I hope this good luck spreads to the rest of your family.

Thanks. Baen's Universe pays enough that I can afford more [livejournal.com profile] elisem jewelry and still contribute to responsible things like the electric bill.

Congrats!

(I'm going to assume that you steered clear of the whole 'Baen presents' thing with the message board posting? Because that just struck me as a terrible idea when I read about it...)

Yes, I am a grown-up writer and submit through the slush pile.

Which I originally typed as "slug pile." Umm.

(I always think "Singing Them Back" is the story with the librarian, but then I remember that I always remember wrong which is the story with the librarian. Which then makes me think this is the one involving house-elfish things.)

I'm afraid that's Harry Potter.

J.K. Rowling stole your idea?????????? I knew it!

I was thinking tomten.

Disir. Tomten are different. But this is the story with the disir.

Disir. Got it.

(And as always, I am amused by the intricacies of my memory failures. I have such a helpful brain, really. It knows how to mess up with *style*).

You should get [livejournal.com profile] elisem to make you a piece of jewelry named after one of your novels.

Alas, but she doesn't take requests in that direction, mostly.

From: [identity profile] elisem.livejournal.com
Mostly I don't because the last one I did wound up being a four-figure price tag. Six, if one counts the figures after the decimal point. Tends to make people go pale and clutch at their throat, or chest, or wallet, or anything else that's handy.

Also, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS. Dunno how I missed this news before, but I did. Go, you!

Excellent news! And it's a very cool coincidence regarding the necklace and earrings.
