Thanks! Yep, this is my third sale to them. Of course, they've rejected more than that, but who's counting those? [Doing a happy dance] I've got a sale! [/Doing a happy dance]

quote: I couldn't have done it without you--even the advice I disagreed with
:P Yes, sometimes we forgot to consider what the author wants to acheive and insist on how we would do it instead. But we mean well.
Nevertheless, even disagreeable advice serves as a marker for a possible trouble spot. Moreover, whatever you disagreed with was obviously the right decision, since you're story has been accepted! Good job, Mary! Way to stick to your guns!

I just recieved the following email from The First Line.
quote:Hi, Mary –
We’d like to use your story Rampion for an upcoming edition of TFL on Tape. I don’t know if you have the ability to read and record the story yourself, but if you do, we’d like you to give it a shot. ... What do you think?
Let's see...Besides performing for a living, I work with an award-winning audio theater company. I'm married to an audio engineer. Yeah. Yeah, I think I can record that.
Pretty nifty, eh? And they're paying me, too. Two checks for one story. That's something to write home about.

That is too cool. I had a non-fiction piece with the option to read it on the air, but I didn't get any extra money.

WOOT Mary! You've just had one of my dreams come true! That is, to record my own work for audio. Yeehaa! I am ecstatically happy on your behalf.
Oh, and I am married to a sound engineer too, by the way. Small world.

Thanks! I told them the hard part would be to not turn it into a multi-voice reading with sound effects and they told me to go for it.
