John Steinbeck does me some good finally.

I've made my first sale of the year finally! "Dinosaurs of the Southern Dust Bowl," a short-short, is going to White Cat. Sales, sales, we like sales.

Congrats, Marissa! Hey, it's only March--the year's still young.

But Conservation of Neuroses, Marshall!

1. I will never sell anything again, doooooom!
2. I have sold everything, ack! I haven't got enough stuff in circulation, doooooom!

Time to sing the doom song! Doom doom doom de doom doom!

If I took myself seriously I think I'd implode.

Now that's a great reason why we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously, except in overdramatic fits of ironic detachment. ;-)

If your experience is like mine--and I bet it is--the sales come in bunches. But, yeah, those dry spells suck.

You may have single-handedly saved The Grapes of Wrath for me.

The entire story is 900 words aimed at doing that for myself, actually.

What a cool title. I love dinosaurs and I am fascinated by the Dust Bowl. Congratulations.

Congrats!

If I may ask, how long did you wait for a response? (I've had a story with them for a while now, and haven't gotten a reply to my queries.)

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Since August.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Mine's been there since July, so I may give them a little while longer.

Yay - congrats!
