Yesterday was one of those crazy, milestone, everyone-said-it-would-never-happen days.
I went to my mailbox and guess what I found?
Evidence that someone in this universe is actually paying me for my words. For all the if's, and's and but's. And double for the that's.
Here's a picture of the check:
Let's zoom in and get a closer look:

There was a time not long ago (Okay, it was September 15th) when I would've given away my book for free.
I think e.e. cummings said it best in his poem "Little Check"
LITTLE checklittle silent Advanced Checkyou are so prettyyou are more like a love letter
who found you in the mailbox
and were you very sorry to leave New York?Oh how I waited
but you were very fast!
see i will comfort you
because you smell so sweetly
i will kiss you
and hug you safe and tight
just as your mother would,
only don't be afraid
look the wordsthat sleep all the year in a dark computerdreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
I’ll hang you in the window
for everyone to see
and how they'll stare!oh but you'll be very proudand my little hubby and i will take handsand looking up at our beautiful checkwe'll dance and sing“If I was a sculptor, but then again, no”
I'm off to go waste my money on cheap caffeine and a buttload of cinnamon bears.my house... I can't afford it. If's, and's and but's have flooded the market recently, causing a rash of foreclosures.)
