cause for celebration

Mélusine has earned out its advance.

This news could not come at a better time for me personally, since my deadline for The Mirador is barely two weeks away and I am having the inevitable crisis wherein the author becomes convinced that nothing she has ever written or will ever write is a damn bit of good. Most especially the thing that's due in two weeks.

You know. That.

So that particular missive in today's mail was an unexpected blessing; I feel much better than I did five minutes ago.

(Yes, external validation is a snare and a delusion, but sometimes it feels good anyway. Especially when in the context of one's finances.)
