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.

I'm happy and sad for you!

(You've seen "Real Genius," right?)

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

I passed! But I failed! Yeah!

[greykev.livejournal.com]

yay, boo, and I'll run you to the hospital/clinic for x-rays if you need.

The ice and ibuprofen seem to be doing the trick, but I appreciate it.

Sorry about the sprain.

thanks and thanks

Hurray for good news!

Congratulations!

The second time I broke my fall with my left hand (and did bad things to my wrist), I found out I could type fairly fast with my right hand only -- and I'm also lefthanded.

thank you!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

I'm getting faster as the day goes by!

I will do my best!

CONGRATS!!!

But, uh, watch those over-exuberant celebrations. You need both hands to type. I hope your hand feels better soon.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Horray for the sale! And I hope your wrist is better soon! *worries*

That's exactly what I told him, as soon as he told me.

[kythiaranos.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the sale! I hope the wrist recovers quickly.

Congrats, Dude!

For the wrist, head to the local health food store (or Whole Foods) and purchase arnica tablets (Scientific name: Arnica montana) and arnica ointment. Use both. The sooner you start using arnic, the more effective it is. It causes ultra rapid healing. I know this by both experience and research.

It's good for bruising, spraining, tearing, breaking, and sore muscles, so it's good to keep on hand.

That's what you get for doing the happy jig when the news came through. A gentleman should be more dignified. ;) Ahem, on a more serious note, CONGRATULATIONS!

Hooray! and... ONOZ!

Damnit man, what are you doing falling around on your money makers?!
