I had another post planned for tonight, which would argue the validity of fanfiction and so on. I’m sorry, but that’s getting postponed.
Just this once, however, I can say it’s not because of laziness. I’m excited to say I have tremendous, fantastic news. I checked my e-mail, and I honestly can’t remember why, and found this waiting for me.
Hi Phil,You are the winner of our book publishing contest on Facebook. When you get a chance, please email us your manuscript so we can get started on publishing your book!Let me know if you have any questions.Thank you.Sincerely,Alexandria White

Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap. How do I even react?! I e-mailed them some questions, of course, but now I’m just freaking out. I’m excited, and a little anxious.
The manuscript I’m sending? Joshua Harkin and the Wicked Nightmare King, of course! Mention of it being a two-book series hasn’t come up yet, but hopefully that can be another thing that happens down the road. For now, I’m just ridiculously excited, kind of terrified, and eager to set some even loftier goals for myself. Holy shit, people.
I will probably be completely intolerable for at least the next forever.

What makes you think you were tolerable before?
Doh!
Ok, now onto the message proper:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget us little people!
🙂
You’re the worst kind of person, and yet you’re still my favorite commenter on here. Hah. There are no little people, though. I’ve had a lot of tremendous help and encouragement from friends and family, which makes all of those people giants as far as I’m concerned.
It’s a big circle. Your success as a writer is my success, because it keeps people reading and maybe generates new readers. Hunger Games helped Divergent, despite those seiries being “competition.”
Congratulations. (-:
Thanks!
You’re welcome. (-: It’s nice to know stuff like that happens.
It appears I’m one of two winners, so this is exciting news for more than just me. Terrific stuff!
Well, maybe I’ll find myself in a situation like that someday. Right now I’m just working toward publication the old-fashioned way. Again, congratulations.
As am I. It’s a never-ending journey. I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you. (-: Same to you.
