I'M OLD

AND THAT'S OKAY. ISN'T THAT RIGHT, THE DOUBLECLICKS? RIGHT.

I don't have any big plans for my birthday this year—mostly because, honestly, it'll be hard to top last year's incredible awesomeness—but it's been a really good year so far...

• I self-published a collection of my 512 Words or Fewer stories
• We went on our fourth JoCo Cruise Crazy, and ran our best puzzle-hunt-at-sea yet
• I went to Clarion West!
• I got an agent!!
• Puzzled Pint grew to ten cities
• I sold more short fiction, including my first SFWA qualifying pro sale!!!
• I've been invited to present at StoryCon this month and the SFWA Readings next month

What's next? Well...

• More short fiction sales, hopefully (I currently have nine stories out on submission, of which three have been shortlisted)
• We'll see what happens with Waypoint Kangaroo, the novel my agent is trying to sell
• I'm going to the Surrey International Writers' Conference for the first time
• I'll be doing NaNoWriMo again, of course
• It looks like Puzzled Pint will expand to eleven cities this month

Life is good. :)
