Exciting news

In October 2021, I started brainstorming about dramatic irony and alternate histories. I started writing the story on December 15, 2021 (according to my LibreOffice stats)* and completed a draft on December 29. I then got it rejected from seven different markets.

Today, March 24, 2023, I heard back from a market-formerly-known-as-SFWA-qualifying with an acceptance! Sometimes it is true what they say about plugging away and being persistent. :D Thanks to all of those, known and unknown, who've supported my writing over the years. This will be my first non-flash sale to a "pro" venue.

(I would rather not publically link this account and my wallet name; if you've met me IRL, feel free to PM me for a link when it comes out.)

*Edit: it was actually the 14th, typo. This doesn't matter a great deal in the grand scheme of things but the typo was bugging me.
