Oh, fuck.

Steve Jackson Games has rejected Outrim Void. They're buying out my contract. This I didn't need this week.

I'm getting about $160 in the buyout, but the payments were supposed to be my Oregon money! Damnit, I need that vacation! At this point I'm wondering if Ground Forces was a bloody fluke, that the only reason it was any good was the fact it was a subject that I knew intimately.

At this point I'm not sure if I can write anything else, and I like writing! What the hell do I do now?

In the research that I did before deciding to try writing is that you will get rejected 25 gazillion times, it is no need to stop. You like writing, you enjoy it. Then write. One author, I forget who, has his study wallpapered in his rejection notices. If you've done it once, you can do it again.
