334 new words on the untitled pirate short story space opera thingy

6 more chapters of the Phantom Streetcar Novel broken down scene-by scene in rewrite prep

Sold "Poor Mesk" to Worlds of Wonder. Does anyone know what $10 Canadian exchanges to in U.S. dollars? As long as it's enough to buy a turtle mocha down at Dunn Bros Coffee, I'm happy.

ETA: Looks like it after exchange and fees it will buy a couple of large turtle mochas down at Dunn Bros. Looks like [livejournal.com profile] careswen and I will be having drinks.

Yay!

There are lots of currency conversion sites on the internet, but it looks like C$10 is about US$8.50 right now. Even with an exchange fee, that'd cover your mocha.

Turtle mocha for me! Possibly even turtle mocha for two! Simple things make me happy.

That's one expensive mocha there :-P

And sorry, about the title story, I keep having flashes of "Let's call it... This land!" "I think we should call it... Your grave!" lol

Congratulations!

Curently, Canadian money is worth a bit less than US money. However, it's rising against the dollar. (I believe all first-world and some second-world currencies are rising against the dollar.)

I had wondered. I received a really good exchange Australian dollars this year from a story sale. The exchange reate improved pretty dramatically from the time I made the sale to the times I was paid.

Congrats on the sale and the Canadian bucks!

Do you have a market in mind for your pirate story? I just read on a forum that the publisher of 1018 Press needs more pirate short story submissions for an upcoming anthology, Black Sails; stories are due by the end of March. Might be worth looking into.

Thanks for the tip! I also heard that Shimmer is extending their submission period for their upcoming pirate issue.
