I was delighted last night when I read an email informing me I've been nominated
for a Diarist Award for Best Writing - my first nomination. So verbose thanks to
whoever nominated me -- I'm enormously flattered. (Especially since I have a
sneaking suspicion that I may have been nominated by someone who herself writes
better than I ever will.)
And now I'll try to forget it - given the level of writing around, I don't see
this going further, and I'd hate to find myself always thinking about how well I'm
writing. I keep thinking about Emily Byrd Starr being corrected for all her
attempts at fine writing.
