Becoming a Winner

[wordsrmylife]

 For years I said my lucky number was 13, using the most sarcastic voice possible. I didn't win things. Sometimes I achieved things through a helluva lot of hard work. But I didn't win.

I can't really say that any more, because:

1) On September 1, I won a Speak Up T-shirt and a signed ARC of Chains from Laurie Halse Anderson, who is one of my writer

Wow, what a lot of great wins! (And I totally agree on Pratchett!)

[wordsrmylife]

Isn't Pratchett wonderful? As for the wins, I am simply stunned, or gobsmacked, whichever you prefer.

[jbknowles]

Yay all around!!!! I cannot WAIT for the Tiffany book. LOVE LOVE LOVE that series!

[wordsrmylife]

Terry Pratchett is so wonderful! I can't wait either.

I think it's wise to take this lucky streak as a sign you're on the perfect path. Hope the luck and feeling good about your writing continues. I expect it will.

[wordsrmylife]

I'm hoping you're right about it all being a sign. It sure feels that way.

Yay you! I won a book on Through the Tollbooth, but it never got sent. Maybe my LJ message with my address went astray. It was about the first thing I ever won ever, so kind of sad I didn't get it, but at least I WON, right?

[wordsrmylife]

Yes indeed, you won. That's what's important. The prize doesn't matter as much as the validation.

I feel like a winner since I'm finally going to a Con after having all sorts of things I want to go to but was unable to for various reasons pass me by. It's gonna be awesome!

[wordsrmylife]

Oh yes. The Con rules. I'm so glad you're going to be able to go. --Take back-up cold remedies, etc. so if something happens unexpectedly you'll be ready to deal.

(You did get to the first ever Irish DiscWorld Con, but I know that's slightly different & another way in which Ireland was wonderful.)
