  • The best letter in the world...

    ...arrived for me today, and it's only one sentence long:

    Dear Joi, I am pleased to enclose a fully executed contract for your contribution to Jonah Goldberg's anthology, as well as a check as payment for your work.
    Granted, I'll be happiest when I actually cash the check (they made it out to "Joi," which is my middle name, but my full name including the middle is on the bank account, so it should be ok), but: I am officially a paid freelancer!

    Now to figure out how to make it pay enough to quit my job...

    (and I'm sure everyone's tired of hearing about this, so I won't post any more about it until the book is published in the fall, I promise!! )

    We're not sick of hearing it. It's awesome news, and you should be showing off all the time.

        You sound like my wife when she started getting gigs for the dogs (two TV shows and now a few 1800 Pet Meds ads).

        Congrats - checks like that are always nice to get.

                WHEEEE!! So, the same week I cash my check (and lemme tell ya, cashing a check with the HarperCollins imprint at the top is a rush!), the book goes up on the HarperCollins site! And preorder on Amazon!

                PM me if you want a link--since the book is political in nature, I don't particularly want to start a discussion on it in this forum.
