A Good, Good Week

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Jackie Lea Sommers

My check from winning the Katherine Paterson Prize arrived!

My first advance check for Truest arrived!

I bought a new car!

It feels really, really good to be paid for my writing.

And now, to celebrate, I will … go do more revisions. Ha. But for real.

I know it says Adv .1 in the memo of the check, but for a moment it looked like Advil. Anyway, congrats. I hope this is a start of many more. How about signed copies of books. I’m a bit of a book collector
