Feb 27 09: more news
On the other hand, I found out today that barring some seriously unlikely turns of events, I will not be getting the Dream Job.
Time for Plan B, kiddies! What should Andrew do next? Preferably a staff position somewhere that offers health benefits and doesn’t expect me to pay my rent on $12.50 an hour. Answers on a postcard c/o this station.
Damn. Tonight, though, I’m going to see Sita Sings the Blues, and then the new Battlestar Galactica, with friends in Queens. So that should take the sting out for a while, at least. And this weekend will see the rollout of a new design for the blog, which always gives you that fresh-start feeling.

Let’s ignore the whole “where did Andy vanish to this time” question and get to the good stuff, shall we?
I am pretty damn chuffed to announce that I have made my first fiction sale.
I sold “Daisy” (aka the sponge-golem kitty story) to the online anthology Thoughtcrime Experiments, which goes up in May. The anthology is edited by Leonard Richardson, another Viable Paradise grad who is a totally excellent writer in his own right. (When his story “Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs” comes out on Strange Horizons later this year, read it. Do not pass Go. Hokey smokes, it’s so funny and awesome. And dinosaury.) My heartfelt thanks to all of you who beta-read the thing, or were encouraging about this ridiculous ‘writing’ idea I have been toying with, or bought me beers when it seemed appropriate, or anything like that.
So, um. w00t!
