Back to Journal  « Narcissism and the Wannabe Clarionite | Acceptance 63 - ASIMOV'S! | Submissions 267 and 268 » Acceptance 63 - ASIMOV'S! May 12, 2006 Just sold my novelette "Outgoing" to Asimov's. This is my first SFWA-qualifying sale after seven and a half years of making a go of this. That phone call that surprised me yesterday was from Editor Sheila Williams asking for a few clarifications to my revision sent April 26th. I finished them up last night, and after a few more nerve-wracking tweaks over email today (boy, do I suck, but thankfully Ms Williams has a lot of patience), she said she'll take it. Interestingly enough, this does nothing to assuage my Clarion Intimidation. Filed under Clarion, Happy Fun Log, Journal, News, Prose and Poetry

Felicitations! That's awesome news. I'm very happy for you. I'm stilling trying to maintain my title as the only unpublished Clarionite '06. You're just helping me out! :-) :-) Posted by: Vince CA at May 14, 2006 10:32 PM
SWEEEEEEEET! And to think I knew you when you were a nobody... Posted by: Ted at May 15, 2006 10:12 AM
Congratulations! That's wonderful! Posted by: Aimee Poynter at May 15, 2006 10:21 AM
Haha, congratulations! That's awesome. Keep in mind that it may do nothing to assuage your Clarion Intimidation...but what the heck do you think it does to ours! Posted by: Rahul Kanakia at May 15, 2006 8:52 PM
Thanks, all! And Hobgood: If you think I was a nobody when you knew me then I don't think you knew me at all. So put that sentence in your Randominator and parse it! To everyone else: Just talking smack with Ted, here. Nothing to see. Move along. Posted by: Alex at May 15, 2006 9:02 PM
Hey! Congratulations! Long overdue, but in my defense, I only now started checking your blog. Looking forward to reading it. In other news, the thought that you have written enough to have 268 submissions (or possibly more) just blows my mind. That's wonderful. Posted by: Felice at May 20, 2006 2:05 AM
Thanks, Felice! Posted by: Alex at May 20, 2006 1:40 PM
Wooooo-hoooooooo!!!!! In short, YOU ROCK!! I'm doing my happy dance for you as I type (not an easy act to pull off :) Congrats on the publication, Clarion, the two kittens, EVERYTHING. You're having a fantastic year (the big 3-0 is looking pretty good, huh?) Take care! Posted by: Maria Getz at May 21, 2006 10:27 PM
Dude, am I a day late and a dollar short, or what? This is awesome! Congratulations! Posted by: Ceallaigh at May 22, 2006 9:28 PM
Thanks, Maria and Ceallaigh. And, I don't know Maria, but I'll let you know when I turn 30. 29's been pretty good so far, though. You just think I'm the same age as you because I'm so wise, right? Posted by: Alex at May 23, 2006 8:57 PM
I look forward to reading it! Posted by: Megan at June 11, 2006 9:12 AM
Congrats on the sale! (At least it's recent, so your Clarion-mates hopefully won't hate you too much for it.) :-) Posted by: Lawrence Schimel at June 14, 2006 8:29 AM
Thanks, Megan and Lawrence! Posted by: Alex at June 17, 2006 9:46 AM
Wow, Asimov's is top drawer! Congratulations - this had to feel great! BTW - I had the wrong link saved, for your blog, and kept going to that one instead of to this one, which is why I haven't been bugging you already. That is NOW appropriately corrected so now I can officially bug you too!!! BLOG more CLARION or succumb to the "Lords of Cosmic Jest" Posted by: Mallory at June 20, 2006 12:41 AM
