OK, enough whining

[valarltd]

Yes, I'm under stress.
Yes I'm under pain.

But there are good things happening around here too.
ShowMeCon is this weekend.
I just signed a contract for Nikolai
I got my first royalty check.
I'm waiting on a contract from EC. Should be out next week.

And my Arcana story comes out Wednesday.

Dollface is reading, and writing.
Jonner is doing amazingly well on the benchmark exams, and learning to cook.

And I beat Obi at Civilization, but not by much.

Technically, I've been a professional writer for almost 2 years. Of course, making $35 in a year isn't enough to live on, so I tend to use the term "Semi-professional: I make money but not enough to live on."

And yeah. Royalty check! First Novel! If I didn't need the money for ShowMeCon, I think I'd frame it.
