Today was the sort of awesome day that makes me a little wary of going up and down the stairs, because it seems so out of balance that I am undoubtedly bucking for a broken leg or something.

I'm about to get my first royalty check. I'm excited...sort of.

After waiting all my life to get to this point, I plan to enjoy every second of it.

Congrats to you on earning out! That's great.

Sheeiit! Congratulations, woman.

I really gotta get the tax stuff done and see if I earned out on the Tarot deck, myself. If it did then I think that I, too, get to have a career in the declining years of the physical publishing industry.

Sure! It's called "The Tarot of the SIlicon Dawn" and you can have a look at it here. In stores/Amazon/etc globally. It's got robots and dragons and video game references, and a book that sways crazily between snark and serious. And a really cool effect that the publisher was able to do where some cards have imagery that only shows up when the light hits them just right.

Oh, HUZZAH! Excellent news! (Especially for us selfish reader types who see your royalty checks as being a means of ensuring continued supplies of our desired reading material...)

No, seriously, that's grand news. Congrats, and be careful on those stairs!
