Your proud, specific accomplishments

I once solved a Rubik’s Cube with my feet.

I got a novel proposal accepted by the game company I freelance for, and it’ll be coming out (as a real, dead-tree, you-can-buy-it-at-Barnes and Noble paperback) in April. This has been a bucket-list dream for a very long time, so I’m pretty stoked about it.

I also wrote five novels in my original urban fantasy series, which I’ll be launching (or rather, re-launching, since I previously published a couple of them and had to pull them down to do some rewriting to fit them into the series) in March. The series will have an industry-pro editor and pro-designed covers. I’m very excited about getting them out there. Already working on the sixth.

My quilt in one of the fairs last year won a blue ribbon, Judge’s Choice and a Merit Award, for a total of $22 in prize money! I get double the amount because I do everything by hand. :slight_smile:

(It would have won the President’s Choice silver plate for the president’s favorite arts and crafts item in the whole barn, but it was up against a tribute sculpture some kids made for their recently-deceased grandpa. You can’t compete with that.)
Also, this one my mom left behind when she died, so I put it together for a quilting pal of hers whose family had been through a lot the last few years. She had no idea I was doing it, and it happened to arrive on their 50th anniversary (I had no idea!)!

I rode and finished RAMROD twice. (RAMROD = Ride Around Mount Rainier in One Day).

Also, I have a doctorate of music in composition, and am a published composer. Compositions of mine have been performed all over the USA and abroad. Relating to the above, I am the composer in residence with our local professional symphony orchestra and was recently-ish awarded “Composer of the Year” by the state Music Teacher’s Association. Also, I am a tenured associate professor of music at the nearby state university.

It may be the depression talking,but not a thing.
I do muddle through the day and at the end usually have not harmed any human or animal. Some days it’s close.

Very cool! Big congratulations!

Thanks, and to you as well! Let me know when your second book comes out so I can read it. :slight_smile:

Lots, but here are two.

I defeated my landlord and their two lawyers in court, by successfully having all my money order, receipts, and convincing the judge with all my evidence that I had paid and they accepted so therefore I can’t be evicted. It was a late payment in Nov, but I always pay on time and the manager accepted and only gave back two months later. Landlords should not accept payments if they file for eviction.

I won! But it was a long story, not the typical landlord-tenant simple issue and I won’t go into. We are on good terms though.
Second, I matched with a cute Asian American girl on Tinder, after running into flakes, we communicated for about a month on phone and she accepted my invitation to meet for coffee.

So far so good, first time I have ever met a girl off of an app or online forum. Oh and my Tinder preference was set to Men, though it was as part of an experiment to see how well I do with the gentleman, NOT that I am into men. For some odd reason her picture came up among the men, and we both swiped right and matched.

Smart girl, works for Boeing.
