First Royalties Check!

Today I received my first-ever—let’s hope first in a looooooooooooooong line—royalties check.

My part’s pretty small, less than a grand. The book has been out only half a year. The author royalties are being split four ways. Plus, our fees for photos and illustrations we chose for the book come out of the first check, so the publisher deducted almost half of it.

But that’s OK.

Cuz it’s the first.

FIRST. 

ROYALTIES CHECK!

OMG

    There is really nothing glamorous about the work I did. It was work. I just walked through a door when it opened for me, after having stuck my foot in and pushed with all my diplomatic might. There is something wonderful about being in the right place at the right time!

    Well, I’m not even listed as an author, or a contributing writer. Therefore, fame is probably out of the question.

    Nevertheless, I’ll take the fortune!
