Even better than being a finalist in the Koufices is the fact that people I greatly admire are saying incredibly gracious things about my writing.
Take my friend Twisty, for example, who took time out from puking in her last week of chemo to write:
I was endorsing Chris Clarke for Best Writing until I discovered two minutes ago that I’m nominated for that one, too. So, although he writes better than I do, screw him!
There just isn’t a word in there that I don’t love, including the offer at the very end.
And so of course I wracked my brain trying to come up with just the perfect way to express the profound warmth I feel toward dear Twisty, but god damn it, wouldn’t you know somebody already wrote it.
