October Begins With Royalty(s) Received

October 1, and I noticed it only because I had to check Paypal for late deposits to close my ledger for September. But there it was, an entry right away for October as well and, even though I do stick to my custom of naming neither amount or payer, this one wasn’t bad. Worth a pretty good dinner anyway at a local restaurant, and for only about a 25th of an anthology (i.e., my one story in it) that’s been good for royalties before too. A not bad start to both a new month and the run-up to the Halloween season.

And, for September — my reason for checking Paypal in the first place — another royalty was recorded during the final few days, on the 28th. This was of the more minuscule variety of which we’ve been well acquainted before, but every bit still counts.
