i just got word that i’m a winner in the pinkwater neddiad contest! i should be the first entry on the page.
i can’t tell you how great it is to be finally recognized by one of my personal heroes (although i’m sure that d.m.pinkwater had a legion of minions reading the slushpile while he dined on kielbasa and orange soda). it’s an especially heady victory considering that pinkwater is a children’s writer and i was competing mainly against people under 12. i think i’ll drink a bottle of chef chow’s hot and spicy oil to celebrate.
as i recall, the prize is original artwork from the book, which is now available for purchase instead of just online. i will blog about the prize when it arrives.
