My First Royalty Check and Other Adventures of the Weekend!
Up: I got my first royalty check over the weekend, thus making it official: I have made money through writing!
Down: The check for my first quarter of sales was not dissimilar from my weekly unemployment check (which I will soon no longer be getting because my benefits run out at the end of the month). Yay for following your dreams and winding up utterly destitute!
Up: I ran a fantastic half-marathon on Saturday. Judging by the lack of responses to the previous post, I doubt many of you care, but:
That's a 10:14 mile (!). As a former 12:30-miler, this was an amazing accomplishment for me and I will be gloating about it for some time.
Down: I woke up sick as hell the day of the race. I then contracted a second illness and threw up all over the place the evening after the race. I am still so sick I can hardly move.
Up: A bunch of Jake stuff happened this weekend in Australia.
Down: Because I was busy throwing up and running races and half-cheering/half-crying over my financial situation, I missed all of it and do not have a Jake-themed post for you today. :( (Up: This is why we have a forum! ;))

I can't make any sense of the photo of Jake with the blond!?
Is it just a case of Back Away from my man, bitch? Or something else
It's one of his handlers grooming him for an interview! :) There's a second picture, too, but I liked this one better. I thought it was a brilliant contrast against me fighting my way through my weekend...yeah, I'm feeling melodramatic today. HA!
Thank you PG, you made me LOL. Yesterday I was a moody bitch. Today I still kind of am but I'm mostly crabby.
Bummer. I was hoping she was about to smack him dead on in the face. I like my version better.
Yay for your 10 minute mile and royalty check! Don't spend it all in one place. ;]
Well congrats on the ups, and boo hoo for the downs... Lol entertaining as always ;)
Nothing like that first pay check.
Wow, I totally feel lame as I missed this post all day yesterday. I just now saw it, seriously. WTF?
First, let me say congrats to you PG for that 1st royalty check, YAY!!! Second, sorry to hear you were so sick & I hope you are much better today. Third, I heard they are extending unemployment benefits for 13 months this morning, maybe that will help you, I hope. & last but not least, what a fucking grand accomplishment for your half marathon! Major kudos to you for having the guts to get thru that & doing EXCELLENT at the same time! I am in complete awe of that, for real. AND I haven't quit doing what I can to push THE BOOK either. I plug it to everyone I know every chance I get. >;-)
Vanessa, I appreciate each and every person you mention it to!!! I can't say it enough, your support is amazing and means oh-so-much to me. :)
It was strangely coincidental that the very day I put up this entry, Obama struck a deal with unemployment benefits being part of the package. I'm not sure if I qualify or not...but fingers crossed!
Because I should have said it in the entry itself, THANK YOU to every single one of you who has bought a copy of the book!!!! For wanting to read my story, for giving me a tiny royalty, for supporting me period, for whatever reason you bought it, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. :) Thank you!
