Poetry Monday
The Mailbox
I finger through
A pile of
Junk.
One envelope
Forwarded, yellow sticker
My heart speeds up and
I slide my nail
Under the seal and
find a check.
Royalties.
My name there
Right there
I’m a writer.

Isn't it great? I made a color photocopy of my first royalty check... It's such a great feeling.
Yes, I am sooo gonna do that.
FABULOUS!!! May there be many more, and may they buy lots of margaritas!
Whoop whoop whooppee!
I didn't copy mine. I did frame the stub.
Awesome!!! You are a writer!!! A pretty darn great one at that :)
{I framed mine-sad little thing lol-and I love it!-its good Feng Shui}
Yay!!! Good for you!
I still haven't cashed my first royalties check (not sure it would've covered the gas to get to the bank. LOL). I'm thinking about framing it like r.g. did. :)
Will you save a dollar of it and frame it?
yay! you iz a writer! I got my first paid check for writing from Playgirl magazine, and I took a picture of myself with it -- but I was in college and needed the money so bad I had to cash it. :)
M
Yay!!
If only some of my yellow sitckered enveloped had those in them... (sigh)
