Way to go!<br /><br />And thanks for sharing those two presentations, Michael. You gave some really helpful instructions/guidelines. I keep your advice in mind next time I'm encountering an editor, by not replying to an e-mail that doesn't require my reply, like I did. I'd love to skip the puppy phase and look professional.Anne van Doornhttp://www.annevandoorn.benoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-3710074973161277972020-10-20T14:48:04.198-04:002020-10-20T14:48:04.198-04:00It was, indeed, an honor to be nominated, and it i...It was, indeed, an honor to be nominated, and it it wouldn't have been possible without all the great stories writers submitted. And, Barb, I think you bought a defective Magic 8-Ball. Can you get a refund?Michael Brackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072019804281421944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-89213895754429234272020-10-20T13:50:48.474-04:002020-10-20T13:50:48.474-04:00Congratulations to all!Congratulations to all!Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-26057731191785352502020-10-20T13:43:13.686-04:002020-10-20T13:43:13.686-04:00I was actually there the whole time.

Anyway, nice speech and good recap. And I guess we both definitely know two things now: (1) It's an honor to be nominated; and (2) Never trust a Magic 8-Ball to predict an award winner!Barb Goffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013123434790272424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-59700034537565067892020-10-20T09:00:07.980-04:002020-10-20T09:00:07.980-04:00Enjoyed this column!

(I had a friend who was nominated so many times for a Hugo without winning that he had a button with that phrase made. So he could just point. Eventually he won.)
