gridloreSteve 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?

At Worldcon go up to your favorite authors and ask them how many rejection slips they collected when they were starting out (somebody used to show off his stack of them at panels). How many lovingly written manuscripts were shredded at workshops. How much blood sweat and tears goes into each and every book and story they write.
Take it on the chin and come back swinging.
