it's a Major Award!
But it is not electric sex glowing softly in the window. It is this. Look at me, in second place. That's fancy. It's got money in. I was going to spend it all on shoes, but then I bought a laptop.
So I am kind of over the moon. And wanting also to hide under my chair, because the rest of the business involves being flown to Tulsa for the weekend and being put in a hotel, taking part in an awards ceremony and a reading, and then sitting on a panel, and THEN, leading a workshop. And then, promptly expiring. Scary stuff.
No no, loved ones say. It's exciting! It's an Opportunity. This is glorious and good! Woo for public speaking! And then, they do the football dance.
Fine, I say. You go.
So it's cool and groovy, and the awards issue with my story in is coming out in September, and I have until then to get a whole new personality and lose a hundred pounds. Plenty time. Rock.
