Writer Meme

* Age when I decided I wanted to be a writer: I genuinely have no recollection of *not* intending to be a writer. I was six the first time I got published (in a school anthology).

[snowinginjune]

i did it... and after i finished i felt so depressed... ;___________; ugh!

[mizkit]

Well, it's really sort of more a professional writer meme, so there's no need to feel badly... :)

So what is the award you want?

I bet World Fantasy Award, but part of me hopes you really want an Eisner. :) (Chance comes out _soon!)

Oh, I'd love an Eisner, but neither of those are actually the ones I'm after. Perhaps I'll let people guess a while and see if anybody hits on it. :)

well they are so pretty...and good to see.

Iconlove!

Sometime I'm going to get my Del Rey editor to read that (in her COPIOUS FREE TIME), because she was in fact the editor for the Highlander line back when I submitted. I'd love to see if she thinks it *would* have gotten published. :) I mean, it's ten years out of date with my writing skill now, but, um. It's better than some of the ones they did publish. :)

Very cool. :)
