Hello, all. It's been a while since I've updated the ol' blog. I just wanted to let you all know that I've made my first professional short story sale! It is a flash story about 750 words long. It's short, but I sold it for well-above pro rates, which meant a lot to me. You can read it on September 2nd by signing up for Daily Science Fiction. It's free, and you can remove yerself (yar) from the subscription list whenever you want. You can sign up in the sidebar.
As for db, unfortunately it is still on hiatus. I'm not sure when I will get back to it, but I read through it the other day with fresh eyes and was surprised how much I still liked it. I want you to know, the ability to concentrate on my writing has been a huge blessing, and with a second little girl to take care of, my time is more limited that it has ever been. The strides I've made wouldn't have been possible if I had kept updating the comic regularly, so in part, this sale belongs to all my db fans too, for being so supportive and understanding. I hope to get back to db one day, and I don't foresee taking down the site any time soon. I have wild dreams that maybe one day I can either continue it or start over (now that I know what I meant) with a professional artist (who would keep things sketchy...it's still db!). But that's only going to happen if I continue to establish myself as a credible fiction writer first. Here's to crazy dreams!
