That which deranges the senses -

I just sold my first story!

To John Scalzi's cliche issue of Subterranean magazine. The piece is called "Scene from a Dystopia." I think some of you have read it. It's a meta-fictional analysis of cold war era dystopias.

I can't believe it! I'm so happy!

By the way, Danielle, do you want to come to a party at my house this Sunday (Dec 11) at around 3 pm? It's a Christmas party.

Thanks, Kelly!

Do you want to come to a party at my house on Sunday Dec. 11, 3pm or so? It's celebrating Christmas, not the sale. ;)

Thanks for the congrats!

I don't know you either, of course, but I have a friend (fellow Clarionite)who is one of Liz's roommates, so I've heard about your book a bit when I met Liz at KGB.

Enjoy SNL. :)

Hey honey! I'm so happy for you!

I really wish I'd been there when you found out. I'm soooo sorry that I bailed on our date...

I'll try to make it up to you.

Kisses!

I'm not going to act surprised because I knew it was just a matter of time before you sold this one! Congratulations on finding it a home and in such a terrific market... Especially since this means you can't revise it anymore. :P

You are completely awesome and I'm proud of you!

Ha, funny story about the revision...

...I went through the story Friday night and made line level changes so I could send it to Asimov's when Scalzi rejected it. I'm not totally sure what to do about that. ;)

Congrats, that is so great! I will have to read it when I get home. We may be a bit late to your party on sunday, but we will get there as soon as we can. Did I mention that I can't wait to see you:)

Ditto! I'll give you a call on Saturday, in case Mike & I can peek our heads in for a moment or two.

Sorry that the party didn't get arranged on the best day for you. We'd already made plans by the time I got your LJ comment. :(
