This day just keeps getting better
I sold a story today. Woot!

"Coolies" will appear in On Spec, a Canadian market I've been hoping to crack!

Great day, indeed!

Thanks, Jim.

It's been a tough nut for me to crack as well. Keep at it!

LOL. I like the spoiler warning. My next step is to come up with a great idea for this quarter's WotF.

LOL. I like the spoiler warning.

Far from me to ruin OnSpec's sales for the issue with your story! Let me know when so I can buy one, please?

My next step is to come up with a great idea for this quarter's WotF.

That was my unanswered question from the group email. Are you still WOTF-eligible? What about SFWA eligibility???

Yes, for sure WotF eligible. As a matter of fact, I just checked SFWA's page and On Spec is on the list of markets that DON'T make the grade. So my only SFWA sale so far is the one to Cicada.

Non-bummer for the orcs, bummer on SFWA. What is wrong with those folks is this is Canada's premier SF mag?

It's all about the numbers. They don't have a large enough circulation to hit the SFWA numbers.

Canadians are used to being "small". :)

Well, screw those SFWA bean counters! I'm still grinning about your sale on a story I just loved (which says scandalous things about my personality).

Have you written Jack about the sale? Remember, he heard the snippet a couple of years ago here at ConStellation and was astounded. I'd write and tell him, but you should have the honors: cryptic@gate.net

Thanks, Eugie. I'm still pretty pumped about the sale.
