So remember I told you that I submitted a short story for publication? Yeah, well, for some reason they thought it was good enough to buy. I guess I'm a real fiction writer now.I got my check in the mail today. It's a small amount, but that's not the point; the fact that someone thought the ideas in my head that I scribbled into a computer were good enough to buy and share is a nice ego boost. I can't decide if I want to cash the check or frame it and hang it on the wall. Then, when I hit the big time, I can be all like "thanks for coming to visit and solicit writing advice, Stephen King. Would you like to see the first check I ever got? Follow me, it's in the museum wing."
The story will be available online when it is released, and I will be sure to link to it. It's very short, so you'll barely have to spend any time to pretend that you care. Also, I emphasize that the story has almost nothing at all to do with polar bears.
P.S. Oh look, Raymi posted another of my works of creative genius.

Congratulations! You need a pipe now. All writers smoke pipes
Make a colour photocopy, frame it, and cash the cheque.
Congratulations! First you're published in a science journal and now you're published in creative writing!

Thanks everyone. I've decided to photocopy the check, keep the original, cash the copy, then smoke a pipe while I get my dong pierced.

And a dong piercing is a GREAT way to celebrate your first published fiction. Or that it's a Tuesday......
Dan
Congrats!
Though I read at first you were going to get your DOG pierced, and I thought, poor Willow.
If you get your dong pierced, you have to post photos. I don't really want to see your wang but that's the way these things work.
Good stuff! Congrats!
I like that his post about his successful literary efforts has lead to comments about his weiner. Not literary, just weird now:)

If you saw my dong, you would understand why it inspires conversation wherever it goes.
God, are you STILL spouting about having a 5 foot schlong?
Ahem, excuse me, but I believe it is SIX feet.
Pretty sure my head just exploded
Dan
Well, you never let me see it, so I can't be sure.
Congrat's, that's awesome!
