Got a cheque in the post today from My Weekly. I hadn't expected it because some of the letters had £25 on them, and others - including the Toffee pic - hadn't.
So thanks, Toffee!!
£25 plus a contributor copy for a readers letter and photo - not bad! Who needs to write fiction?? (Only joking)

First Fiction Sale
Those lovely - no, those WONDERFUL people in Necrotic Tissue have accepted my micro fiction tale 'Reflections' for their January 2009 issue.
This is my first PAID fiction publication. Better still, the stories of both Inkpot and I will appear in the same issue!
Yippee!

NEXT WEEK
I wonder what writing successes lie ahead next week for the Nodpots?
There's been so many in the last couple of weeks that I expect every week to bring at least one piece of good news!

CONGRATULATIONS TO INKPOT ONCE AGAIN
This is getting to be a regular post, which is great!
Inkpot has done it again - see her blog for details.
Her third acceptance within less than two weeks! And two of them are paying markets, which is really excellent.
CONGRATUALTIONS!

MANY THANKS TO INKPOT
Just wanted to thank Inkpot (Inkpoy to her friends) on all her help she's given me, especially regarding my recent submissions. I look forward to sharing the proceeds of their sales with her (some year!)
Thanks, Inkpot! I now have 5 pieces out there, waiting to be snapped up.

CHAP BOOK
Started my DN chapbook Wednesday evening.
As they are due for the anniversary on July 27th, I have perhaps two months to get it done.
I hope to be finished much sooner than that!
I am also tempted to keep a running total of all my submissions on the blog - I'm just so happy to have stuff to submit that I want to encourage myself to have something every week. For instance, last week (as I told you already) I submitted three micro-fiction (one already available on line) and a short story. This week I have so far submitted one micro-fiction, and have a short story just about ready to go.
I hope I can keep this up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPE BENEDICT
Today is the Pope's birthday. He is 81, and celebrating it (well, I doubt if he is actually celebrating it) it in Washington.
Rumour has it that there is a party in his honour but he isn't attending, it's not his thing.
Happy birthday anyway!
Tiny pic of the party earlier today where 13000 people sang Happy Birthday.
