Last week one of my blog posts got out of control and morphed into something I thought would be more appropriate for a magazine article. So I fired it off on Monday to an editor for an opinion, and he told me yesterday that they want to buy it. And, presumably, publish it at some point.
Once I get some drawings to him, they’ll write up and send me a contract. I don’t want to say the name of the magazine or the subject matter until the contract’s signed, but it’s a magazine published by a company that’s been around since the 1930s and is very highly regarded. I’m looking forward to working with them.

I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts for many years. I’m glad you will get paid for them.
