Below the fold, a scan of the first story I ever sold, a piece I wrote under the title “Carving The Pelican.”
I sold it to the Japanese magazine Jidaijin for a hundred bucks.
They paid promptly, printed it in English and Japanese, misspelled my name three times in three different ways, and changed the title to “Incomoplete [sic] Sculpture of Pelican.”
I changed it back when I printed it in Terrain a year or so later, in February 1993.
