In her honor, and in anticipation of the completion of hundreds of MS's in the near future (surely we can do hundreds, right guys?), I created an award. On the surface, naming such an award seems simple. Originally it was to be the "Complete MS Award," but that didn't strike me as witty enough.
So I now present, to Carol, the first ever "Writers Know Award," because only fellow writers know how hard you worked to get to this point. And we (you all don't mind if I speak for you, do you?) honor your accomplishment today.
The only rule attached to said award is that you are allowed to pass it along to whomever you please upon completion of their MS. I hope many of you will reach this point and receive this award in the near future - or far future! Just put a little feeler out there in the blog-world and champagne will pop in your honor.But today, Carol, it is for you! Congratulations.
Great idea & awesome award! Congrats again to Carol :)
ReplyDeleteI will hopefully be done my nano ms over the next few weeks - this should give me a push! :)
Now that is a meaningful award!!!
ReplyDeleteYay, Jemi! Can't wait to send some champagne your way!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane...I thought what she did was deserving of recognition from writers...I certainly haven't achieved what she has yet - but I hope to do so!
I only hope she signs on today to see the award!
Congrats to Carol and to you too Michele. That's a great looking award.
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest award! Okay, now I have award-creation-envy. I'm thinking with your production experience, you were able to create it quickly!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll be getting one yourself, soon, Michele!

Mason & Elizabeth- I really just grabbed a cool pic from PicApp.com and added some test - that's it! You, too, can make an award!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, as always, is an inspiration. I didn't even know we could make our own awards!
(And I hope so.)
Love this award and love the name! Very fitting!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful award! Congrats Carol!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, you're welcome...
ReplyDeleteESPECIALLY Carol! You're welcome!
I'm sorry I've been lax on replying today. Loooooong day of threatening snow-turned-ice plus end of school for Christmas break so parties and programs (no one told them it's preschool)...
Anyway, way to go, Carol. Happy Holidays everyone!
I tell you what, I am hanging with a very smart crowd - you know how to create awards! And you finish manuscripts!
