News X2

[mmerriam]

The Good News: I have sold my 4800 word Space Opera Pirate story, "Tenari," to Ray Gun Revival for their second anniversary issue.

The Bad News: I sprained my left wrist in a fall about 10 minutes ago. It hurts like hell and I'm typing this one-handed with my right (and off) hand. It isn't swollen, but it hurts if I move it much. I'm going to go wrap it in an Ace Bandage and see what happens.

Ice it. Ice, ice, ice. Take an anti-inflammatory too.

Thanks for the congrats! I've iced it and wrapped it, with plans to ice it again in a couple of hours.

If I didn't have a project I need to work on tonight, I'd so break out the scotch!

I wish I could take tomorrow of, but I have a deadline to meet for my freelance gig.

I'll post here when the story is available.

::hops up and down for the good news:: Congratulations.

Ugh about your wrist.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[kelly-swails.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

I'm sorry.

[haddayr.livejournal.com]

Yay!

BOOOOOOO!

Even if it's not swollen, you might want to try Advil and ice; my understanding is that sprains are a lot of internal inflammation and icing even the ones that are not obviously swelling can help you recover faster if you get it within a few hours of the injury. Yikes!

[karenthology.livejournal.com]

I love space pirates. I can't help it. I look forward to reading it!

And ouch on the wrist; I can't add anything but my commiserations and another recommendation for Advil. I hope it feels better soon.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the congrats!

Yeah, that what careswen said when I told her. I have iced and taken ibuprofen.
