So I wrote a short story, sent it off and it's been accepted for publication in a SF mag - and will be broadcast on radio and podcast.
I'm not actually getting paid - but I'm still pretty excited, and was passing by so thought I'd share!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hopefully you didn't sell your firstborn son. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah - well to be honest it took as long to write the story as it did to create my firstborn....
make of that what you will

Not as fun though, I hope. 
Good for you though. My mom has published a few books and it was a ton of work. Not quite the same but I can imagine the amount of time and effort it took.

I can only hope that both were properly developed at delivery.

I should have been here to volunteer  . I love LOTR, and a friend of mine is writing something similar for which I am a volunteer proof reader.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

Congrats. I do a bit of sci-fi writing (and other writing) myself so I know how tough it can be to get your stuff in front of an audience.
Can we read your story somewhere? Are any of your other stories available elsewhere?
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
You won't be able to read this one until publication next year - and as it is the first, there's no others available to read.
I do have one reject that I may post somewhere online in which case I will obviously let everyone here know!

Awesome! So when is the CP article coming out discussing the architecture decisions, workflows and third party integration?

I was thinking more of an article discussing punctuation (with special consideration of alignment of braces), layout and the use of the word 'this'!
