Firsts

[erastes]

So - I recently got my first royalty statement. I like firsts. However. As the period it covered was from release date of 26th November to 1st December - I am not heading off for the Seychelles any time soon. *guffaw* There's not even enough to pay for petrol to the end of the road!

However - they say: "I think you'll be pleased with the next quarter, the book is selling very well and you will have a nice chunk of change in a few months."

This - I couldn't help it - threw me into Hans Solo mode:

Leia: Luke: "More money than you can imagine..."

Han: "I can imagine quite a lot..."

*G*ETA: edited.Thanks to rwday and Henri for the corrections....

HAR! I don't post it a lot, but I just wanted to say how fun it is to live vicariously through you. I can't write well enough to get published, but it sure is fun to hear what it's like. ^_^

Ah the ups and downs! Enjoy the ride, hun - and you DO post!

Actually, that was Luke saying 'more money than you can imagine.' It was just after they'd got into that operations room on the Death Star and R2D2 had found the princess, who was scheduled for termination - Luke is trying to persuade Han to rescue her.

That scene has some of the greatest dialogue ever. Not sure what happened in the last 3 films, but someone fell down up on the job.

Geek correction:
there is only one S in Han Solo.


"She's rich. If you were to rescue her, the reward would be..."
"What?"
"Well, more wealth than you can imagine!"
"I dunno. I can imagine quite a bit."

(this was post where I wasn't sure if I wanted one of my Han icon or this one: There were many jokes about me getting my own Falcon, and offers of a life-sized plush wookiee)

Typo! It was a typo!!!! And I couldn't look up star wars quotes at work, so I didn't do bad, from memory. I just forgot how geeky my flist were.

Aw cute icons!

I've had some lovely mails from complete strangers all over the place, most notably recently from men, which is just wonderful.. *blissed out * I KNEW men wanted gay romance...

[julesjones]

Oh yeah -- I've had the fan mail from gay men saying how wonderful it was to find gay romance at last.

It's so great - I am planning to try and get a post on the matter on Romancing the Blog, if they pass it - I doubt they will, but I'll try it...

Of course the advance has to be cleared first, too....

Profit!! Have you decided which island to buy, yet? I will come visit you, with the ocean cruiser I buy with my massive gay porn comic income.
