"Strange Horizons" just told me that they've accepted Portrait of Ari. I can't believe it! They pay pro-rates!

So many exclamation points going off in my head! Heheheeheee!!!!

And I'm in a coffee-shop so I can't get up and dance around like the mad-woman that I feel like. Oh, rapture, oh joy!

Congratulations, Mary. That is wonderful news and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. It is nice to see the pro-markets starting to take notice.

Congratulations!!!!

And hey, if you start dancing and yelling in a coffee shop, just tell people you're a writer. They think we're all crazy anyway. Seriously, congratulations in a huge way.

My story Portrait of Ari has just gone live on the Strange Horizons website.

I'm giddy.

Thanks!

I know some folks are interested in backstage stuff in story creation, so I posted the origin of this story on my website. It was originally a scene from my fatally-flawed first novel.

It's very interesting, both as an insight into the origins of the idea, and to see how much the story has evolved since then (and yeah, the giant-cat-aliens were a bad idea )

And the story is awesome. I really like the end, it captures the perfect amount of emotion.

Congrats, again !
