12 Years Late

So, I just sold a piece to Palladium Books. When I was just finishing college, I pitched some ideas to them and had about a two year discussion with the editors regarding some work. Unfortunately, there was a major upheaval and all of the work I'd done essentially ended up in the slush pile of doom. This year, as part of my 'get my fucking ass in gear' initiative as a writer, I was thinking about them when I randomly got an email out of the blue from them mentioning that they'd unearthed my old submission and records, and while too out of date to be usable, asked if I wanted to take a shot at submitting some new material. I did that this summer and assumed with the lack of response, they'd moved on. Instead, I got the acceptance letter today.
It's a small thing to be sure, but it tickles my teenage self. I will actually be published before the end of the year for a supplement (and they've asked about my availability for real non-bullshit work).
