There will be a phone call from the publisher. A little dancing. A kiss, if there's anyone around. It's okay. Then, as your body catches up with your brain, an all right! with both your hands up in the air--you, of all people, imagine that. And it feels good.
DVICE. But then, soon--right away--you're human after all--you start thinking about things--things you should have asked, what-ifs, what about the cover, what about a contract. Do I need a lawyer? That's how ephemeral the moment is, and how quickly it can pass. But when the moment is the moment, it's a very good moment.
"Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length."--Robert Frost
Call everyone you know, but try not to gloat, not too much. The truth is, your friends will want to be happy with you.
