1. Or, ahem, never. ; )

   Congratulations to your contributors!

2. Yes, I suppose it depends on the person.

3. I wasn’t sitting by my computer constantly checking my mail. I swear. It was just a coincidence that I happened to be there when it arrived. Honestly!My only defence is that it’s my first sale. :)

4. Would be fun to see your scorecard for the issue: X acceptances, X secondary announcements. That’s really an unexpected thing for me about personal blogs: welcome and delightful promotion which has that benefit of sincerity and diverse reach. It’s certainly brought a lot of periodicals to my attention that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise.

5. No need to defend, Ann. I’m glad you’re excited!

6. But who can blame them?

   Besides, rejection in this case takes about eighteen hours.

7. Blush.

   Ann & I were on the phone about it about 30 seconds afterward, too.

   Hey, thanks for not holding a grudge about me calling you Patrick Nielsen Hayden… ;)

8. Ha! No, I wouldn’t hold it against you. But I plan on teasing you with it for the rest of your career.

9. I’m laughing really hard right now because I know both of those people! And if I hadn’t gotten their e-mails too, I might not have known about their good news…
