First published work. I think. Or at least the first in a long time.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I present to you:

Mister Duncan Shields.

And the first of many posts on 365 tomorrows.

I just danced a little jig. But, y'know, on the inside.

Dare I say it? W00t. There. I said it.

Yay!!! Congratulations!

Now you're a real growed-up writer. It's exciting! Soon you'll be bigger than William Gibson!

Well, I think you're already taller. So that's good enough.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

Thank you sir. That'll be my response now. "How does it feel Duncan?" and response will be "I feel taller than William Gibson!"

[breklor.livejournal.com]

Well, there you go :) And I'll be able to say, "Duncan? Duncan Shields? Oh yes, I knew him when we first realized he was taller than William Gibson."

Just don't be toooo public about that. Gibson's a tough customer (http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04%2F10%2F20%2F1518217) (scroll down to question #4).

YIKES. I shall steer clear. Quite the opponent.

Congratulations!

Tell me it doesn't feel good to know that from know on when people ask, "oh, you're a writer, are you published", You can say, "why yes I have been!"

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

Especially if they're being snide. They're all "Oh well lah-de-dah. Have you been published, sir?" forward thrust lunge! and I'm all "Yes. I have been" parry! It'll be nice.
Thanks for the congragulations.

Congratulations, mofo!

I hereby promise to update the shrine I have dedicated to you in the back of my closet to reflect these new developments! Hail Ikthor!

And you must remove the picture of me in the superman shirt and the g-string. That was simply ages ago.

I don't care! It's cute!

Also, what is this Girls Are Pretty business.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

More daily fiction. It's fun to check out. Go back in the archives. There is some gold there.

[inri33.livejournal.com]

I did and I do not regret the time I spent. My boss was rather curious as to why I was laughing so hard, but I got to say 'Happy Abortion King Day!' and all was well.

Dude! DOn't freak me out like that. (I've been reading Girls Are Pretty religiously since 2000.)

Number 17.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

With perhaps a bit of number one. Oh dear. It's the devil on the phone. The express train is leaving.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

And I'm an honorary member of number 13.

[kindelingboy.livejournal.com]

Woot indeed! Many congratulations!

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

Thank you sir. There may have to be a celebration of some sort. We shall see.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

Why thank you sir.
