truepennyI just sold a poem.
A poem.
You have to understand, I'm not a poet. I don't pretend to be a poet. Sometimes, though, my flash fiction is um, well, not so much with the narrative drive, and so I stick line-breaks in and call it poetry. I submit it because, well, I'm a professional writer and that's what I do with the stuff I write. I never in a million years expected I'd actually sell it.
But I have.
To The Magazine of Speculative Poetry.
I still can't find my Sheaffer converter, and you know what? I don't even care.
Yee-ha!

But it would be good news even if it didn't.
(Plus, if you can manage not to care about your Sheaffer converter, that's when it'll turn up).
