First paid publication :)

[cl0ckw0rkf0x]

So like three months ago, Thaumatrope was looking for steampunk stuff in 140 characters or less. So I took one of my planned lines from the Eyelet dove, squeezed the meaningful bits into a phrase that says more than it says, and sent it to them and they just sent me back saying it was accepted. And though it's too short to be considered a pro publication, it's the first paid one to my name. Even though the payment is $1.20, and paypal transfer fees will eat it.

I am a paid author :P

If you're getting serious, let me know, and I'll show you the online writing workshop turtle and I are on.

It's right here; turtle and I are on there under our real names, as is customary, since it's a fairly professional sort of environment.

That's great news, even if the amount of the actual payment is teensy! Congratulations. :)

Dammit! I've sent them at least 8 things (they're really short and I've lost track) and no acceptances.

Nice work and much kudos. :)
