Super News for a Monday; Also, a Request on Behalf of Three Ladies
Graceling is the winner of the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature!Here is the official announcement of all the 2009 Mythopoeic Awards.
Here is more information about the Mythopoeic Society.
Here is what the award looks like. (Except that mine won't have Neil Gaiman's name on it. ^_^) Isn't it cool?
I'll post a link to my acceptance speech once the Society puts it up on their page. In the meantime... *sniff*... thank you SO MUCH to the Mythopoeic Society for this honor.

Before I go: if you have a thought to spare for three little ladies who mean the world to me -- one of whom has the world's worst backache, on account of being pregnant with the other two, whose combined weight is about 12 pounds and growing -- would you mind sending those thoughts and wishes on a karmic wind to northern Florida? I'm sure that my sister (secret code name: Cordelia) would appreciate it, and I know that I would! Hang in there, babies! Hang in there, Cordelia! Cordelia, you're a hero! ♥

Congrats on your Mythopoeic award! Terribly exciting!
I'm sending good thoughts in Cordelia's general direction, too.
And congratulations to your sister and the coming twins!
And yay for pregnant ladies and two babies coming. I hope someone is rubbing her back for her!
Sending lots of positive thoughts her way!
Being pregnant at the same time as my sister? Not so much fun. I'm glad you're able to be Supportive Unpregnant Sister.
Ditto on beating Neil Gaiman - I'm not much of an NG fan myself, but I sleep with Graceling and my review of Fire (had to return the ARC) under my pillow.
Well. Sort of.
Joe, you get a big fat hug, and all the love in the world.

Everyone, send some thoughts and wishes to my outlaw brother-in-law, secret codename: Joe!
And sending good thoughts/prayers your sister's way. Twins! She's a mighty woman, indeed.
back from amazing ala chicago and i managed to wrangle your FIRE arc. cannot wait to read it. keep inspiring me as i write my own sequel. =D
Now, congratulations to you on the Graceling honor.
I'm excited for Fire to come out and you should now consider me a faithful follower on blogger. :3
My big sister is a twin so I just wanted to say to your Cordelia and Joe--twins are as much work as you think they are going to be, but they are SO much more wonderful than you can possibly imagine! Courage is half the battle. Hang in there. I'm sending happy thoughts your way.
Thanks everyone for the good wishes to Cordelia. Please keep them up. She is really, really miserable. (The babies, at least, seem to be happy as clams!)
