The Check really was in the Mail!

There are three parts of the writing business that always give me a lift.

• One: submitting a piece
• Two: having it accepted
• Three: getting paid

I just want to bask in the joy of part three! The check, small though it is, came. For brief moment of monetary validation. Not as great a high as good sex – but it has a thrill all its own.

Basking done… and now I’ll get back to work!

Licks!
