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?

Knowing a subject intimately doesn't mean you know how to write about it, let alone write it well. I hate to go GI Joe on you, but knowing is only half the battle. The rest is skill. You obviously have the skill, so either take what you wrote for SJG and find a way to shop it elsewhere or start new.

But not right away. Give yourself a little mourning time first.
