I received my first royalty check!!

OMG. I received my first royalty check. It's true! I'm an author. For real. I'll try not to spend it all at once (considering it was just for the last 2 days of June) LOL, but that piece of paper is further validation for me and another amazing milestone for 2010. It might be lame, but I can't stop looking at it :). Perhaps I won't cash it. Maybe I should frame it? WOW, I'm an income generating author. So there, Mr. Taxman!

    Whoo hoo, Kaily! That's too awesome! I'd at least frame a copy of it or have DH take a pic of you holding it and frame that. Here's to that check and many, many more. Huuuuuge congrats!

    HOW EXCITING!!!!! It is all of these little milestones, i.e. getting contract offers, cover art, your blurb, the release date etc. that make all the patience and hard work required to do this pay off. I haven't gotten mine first check yet, but look forward to it next month, no matter how miniscule. WAY TO GO!!!

    Thanks everyone!! It's still sitting on my desk. I look at it everyday as I'm trying to keep on track with my word count goals. It's great inspiration. Yeah, I've resisted for a long time, but I've got a daily word count goal now!

    HOW FANTASTIC, Kaily!!!

    I agree with Rula: Take a pic and frame it!! Check in one hand, a bottle of bubbly in the other and a huge grin would make a wonderful photo for the wall!

    Congrats, my friend!! You're swimming in the big kids' pool now! *wink wink*
