Everything DOES happen at once!

As of today, I am officially a published author of short fiction in an anthology. Which is up on Amazon.com and printed on dead trees, so it counts.

I officially crossed over.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] wiebke for kicking that almost-dead project back to life!

Yep me neither. Poor little Mephi will have to get Lucifer to throw his scrap of fur for him now, as I am unavailable.

Thanks! And yes, the illustrator is a very friendly polite bloke with a very pronounced Australian accent.

He said something quite deep I'll quote for everybody when I put up the drawing and the ringtone tomorrow when I connect my phone. I just have to go to bed and can't be bothered to do anything of that sort right now.

He said, "The picture distorts reality, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's the artist's job to distort reality!"

Absolutely. I think I'll put it in my screen saver at work. I always have quotes there that mean something to me, there.

Very much congrats!

According the Science Fiction Writers of America, you are now 1/3rd pro.

What do I have to do for the other two thirds?

Get two more short stories published.

Or a novel.
