Sneaky people have been nominating me for the BBAW awards.
I feel very appreciated. And FYI, I would like a tiara when I win.
(Congrats to Moonrat, who was also nominated!)

Congrats! It's well deserved.
Congrats on your nomination(s)!
Must put tiara on my list of editor brib... uh, *gifts*
Oh EA and moonrat together...if only we could have seen the battle ;)
I can make you a tiara out of my WIP. It'd look much better on your head than it does on my computer screen. Currently it is making me cry, and not in a good way.
Or were you expecting diamonds?
Do you need a sash and boquet too, or will the simple tiara suffice?
Also, since you're out of school, would you prefer that the 'scholarship money' be replaced with copious amounts of red wine and good chocolate? And have you prepared for the interview portion? You wouldn't want to flub it and end up a youtube celebrity!
Ok, I have to brag. I was nominated for 3 of the awards! (Kidlit, Industry, and Humor.) Nyah, nyah, Moonrat!
Congratulations!
word verification: bustious Is this what Dolly Parton is?
I'm sorry. The word verification just cracked me up.
You deserve it. I feel like your disciple with what you've taught me. You can learn basic writing skills from other blogs, institutions and forums but you have brought everything into reality for me. And you make me SMILE and laugh (except when you talk about celeb authors).
Many thanks as always, your trusted reader. AE
