I did it! I did it! I sold my first story! MY.FIRST.EVER.SALE. I'm going to have a front cover! I'm going to be on a website! I can't believe it! I was so paranoid she wasn't going to like the extra scene and that I was going to stuff the whole thing up but I didn't! I'm going to be an author! Next time someone asks me "So, you're a writer, eh? How many times have you been published?" I'll be able to answer! He he he he he he *dances*
