More on the Fabulous Writing Life!

Got my check last week for my Year's Best sale and cashed it yesterday. Yippeee!

Friends and relations, however, were rather horrified to learn that the going rate for a Year's Best anthology sale is... about $100.

I could say that nobody writes for the money, but actually, I now write for a living. So, let's say: nobody writes *fiction* for the money.

Except maybe Dan Brown and Stephen King. Maybe Danielle Steele. And I think JK Rowling has so much money now that money is just a moot point.
