I just sold my fourth book.

Holy crap. Holy shit. Holy fuck. Holy Ned.

I just. Sold my. Fourth book.

Please excuse me while I go run around the neighborhood screaming a few dozen times...

Congrats!

som1luvsmi · Nov 6, 2009

You sold your soul, didn't you?

That's crazy amazing news, Lori!

Congrats!!!!!!! (again!)

dolores haze · Nov 6, 2009

Holy ned, indeed! Everytime I come on AW you've sold another book. It's amazing.

Congratulations!

I think Scarletpeaches might have sold it on my behalf. Probably supposed to be a surprise or something.

Thanks all!

Calla Lily · Nov 6, 2009

Congratulations!

Jersey Chick · Nov 6, 2009

Holy Ned - I love it.

CONGRATULATIONS!

MsJudy · Nov 6, 2009

thank you for doing your part to stimulate the economy and move us all into recovery. apparently, times are never so bad you can't sell good sex.

Perks · Nov 6, 2009

Way to go, Lori! Congratulations. You must be thrilled.

AnonymousWriter · Nov 7, 2009

Get old enough to read them!

And in my crazy giddiness earlier, I completely neglected to shout-out to those who deserve shouting out:

Mega thanks to scarletpeaches for helping me brainstorm it, bestowing upon it not 1 but 2 titles (it was originally The Devil You Know) and beta reading every chapter as soon as it was finished.

Also to Libbie for beta reading it. I'm an unabashed comment-whore, and your comments are much, much appreciated.

You guys totally fucking rock and I couldn't do this without you.

So, like, don't die or anything anytime soon.

I think we should just smoosh all these threads together to make one thousand-page sacrifice to Lori, and every so often we can resurrect it to tell her how great she is. You know, really milk it and drag it out and make everyone sick, either with envy or boredom, whichever applies.

Your sarcasm is chagrinning my dazzle.

scarletpeaches · Nov 7, 2009

Here are my thoughts:

Lori is living proof of two things.

1. TDBU was written in eleven days, thereby proving fast =/= crap.

2. The more you write, you don't 'wear yourself out'. The more you write, the better you get.

Writing is a muscle, not a finite supply of words. You get stronger, not emptier.

(And to completely spoil the mood of what I'm saying, Lori's just said on MSN, "And I am living proof that filth sells like a mofo.")

Congratulations, Lori!

scarletpeaches · Nov 7, 2009

aruna, quick - get out of this thread before you're corrupted!

Oh no. She was the only pure and good thing about AW...

Maryn · Nov 7, 2009

Oh, was that you I heard screaming, circling the block? Well deserved!

Maryn, glad in your behalf, in case you couldn't handle that much glad

Wait, wait...I can say this in Japanese...really I can...especially when it's not 2 in the morning.

Omedetou! That's the word I was looking for.

You reall, really missed your calling, SP.
You should have been a clown, not a writer.
The only pure and good thing on AW is obviously Haskins.

Hey!

You lost all hope when you sent me a PM involving the words 'bum', 'arse' and 'wank'.

Clowns are evil.

That is all.
