Bad news - Good news.

[purplerabbit]

Well, things have been really strange for me lately. Bad news/good news strange.

Bad news - airshipjones bike was stolen.
Good news - He found a nicer one on Craig's List.

Bad news - I can't go on a trip I really wanted this Oct. because the money went on the bike.
Good news - I was able to transfer the airline voucher so that my sister Beth is coming to visit for my mom's birthday this month.

(Heads up, that means we will have my sister visiting Sept. 23-28.)

Bad news - One of my two primary co-authors and I have been in conflict a lot in the last six months, so we have decided to take a break from working together.
Good news - More time to work on original fiction, just as I got a letter from a publisher asking me to submit an original science fiction or fantasy story.

Bad news - I might not have a lot of time for anything outside my writing and my family over the next month.
Good news - I get to see my sister and I might have a paying book contract when done.

Hey, congrats!

at least your bad stuff seems to be tempered somewhat with good stuff.

I'm really happy for you about the writing gig!

Ahh, the wondrous roller coaster we call life. Here's to focusing on the doors that are opening!

Yay for all the good news. I know those things that tend on the bad sign have or will work out. Yay again!
