I got my first ever payment for writing - a cheque from riptide - and am wondering what to do with it.

If I am God (creator of universes = writer) then I should probably be amused at the thought of mortals paying me and show it off to my other God mates.

If I am to be a canonical author then I should probably save it for the "Museum of Gordon" along with my nail clippings and the best of my ear wax collection.

If I am to be a minor author/amateur scribbler then I should probably cash it.

Overall I'm going to interpolate status as somewhere between God and bum and cash it.
