The Professional

I have now entered the realm of professional writer. I got my first writing check in the mail yesterday. I'm writing for an as of yet not launched website. My editor tells me it will be launched in Russian first. So when I become a professionally published writer it will be in Russian. Yes, that's right. I'm going to be published in Russian. I know exactly 3 people who will be able to read it. And then 2 more who might be able to read it. I am in neither category. It will give an entirely new meaning to not being able to read what I've written. Normally, my handwriting is just too sloppy, but this time it will be in a foreign language. I wonder if my wit translates into Russian.

I would also like to point out to all my dramatic writing friends that because this is not a dramatic writing gig I do not need to get a tattoo as per anyone's deal. Just in case anyone asks. No way no how. Unless of course I get some wicked cool phrase in Russian that I'll never understand, cause then the tat doesn't really count.
