And Now It Can Be Told

[handful_ofdust]

After my week of nuttin', honey, and my vague birthday plunge into what-the-fuck-have-I-done-with-my-life-ville, today is my seventh wedding anniversary, and...last night, I got some amazing, probably life-changing news:

ChiZine Publications (CZP) is buying A Book of Tongues, on the strength of Chapters One to Seven. I'm signing the contracts next week; they need a full manuscript by November. And whatever else happens, because it's CZP, I therefore know the cover will be brilliant.

So--today I jumped right back on the horse, and floored that fucker: 1,039 words into Chapter Eight, pedal to the metal. Because I guess I maybe don't suck. And I guess I also know what I'll be doing for the rest of the year.;)

Hey, how'd I miss this? Clearly I need to be more vigilant about keeping up with my flist. Reading back after seeing your latest entry, and DUDE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

And of course you don't suck!

(Also, belated birthday felicitations. The contract must have been a hell of a birthday present, huh?)

It was, in fact, the BEST BIRTHDAY EVAR.;)
