Well, today there was good news and bad news. The good news was, I got a couple of leetle checks in the mail – one a check from Ninth Letter for my poem (thanks Ninth Letter!) and the other a royalty check from Steel Toe Books (Thanks Tom!) Considering this is the third year of the book’s being out, I’m happy the book is still selling! Considering the economy (and other expenses, described below) every little bit helps.
The bad news is, I can no longer get up and down to my apartment (for the first couple of days I did crutches, but then I hurt my hand and now can’t do crutches at all. (Poof!)
