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?

OK, I'm doing a little better now.

Chatting with eleri has gotten me calmed down a little. I have another project to work on, and may contact Hero Games to see what they are looking for in terms of free-lance work.

I just thought this book was going to make it.

As If My Day Could Get Any Worse

After learning that my book had been cancelled I then procecced to lose one of my front teeth when I took a shower. This particular tooth, one of my bottom incisors, had been loose for some time so it was not a complete shock.

sigh

Sometimes I really start to wonder if there is a God - and if He's mad at me.

On the good side of things, this entry was written on the Palm Pilot. Once you get used to it, it is pretty easy.

Of course I am saying this while reading this tiny screen. Who knows how many screw-ups I'll find when I look at it on the computer?

Later that same day.... Okay, there were a few, but they're gone now.

A Win For The Good Guys

Ultra-Consevative House member Bob Barr (R-GA) has been defeated in his re-election bid.

Barr was one of the most conservative Congress-critters, and was one of the prime movers in the impeachment of President Clinton. Barr also was a darling of the Christian Right. He holds a special place in his black heart for gays & lesbians.

Doubtlessly, he will find a job with one of the groups trying to destroy our civil rights.

But at least he's out of Congress.
