JMS mentioned somewhere, posts or the script books, that after he
lands a new contract or deal he goes out and purchases some little
nice thing for himself. I believe I recall reading that he and Rod
Sterling bought something simliar at one time.

Did JMS ever mention what he purchased for himself after selling the
Changling script?

I've never been a guy who likes a lot of flash.  Anybody who's ever
seen me knows I don't go for expensive clothes, or fancy cars, or the
latest styles.  I shop at the Gap and Land's End.  I don't have
expensive paintings or jewelry.  I travel light.  I'm a simple kind of
guy.

But the Changeling sale was such a major event, such a
transformational experience, that I thought...this really has to be
something special to mark the moment.  A once in a lifetime splurge.

So I got something I've long wanted: the Torneau Gotham Tahiti del Sol
watch.  It's my lucky watch, and I only wear it to big events and
important meetings.  The rest of the time I just kind of look at it
and smile.
