And now to announce the winner of Make Believe:
Rachel Morgan!!!
Yay!! Congrats, Rachel!!
Awards:
It seems my name turned up in a list of those eligible for the 2013 Ditmar Awards for my short story, The Red Button. It's an award that recognises achievement in Australian science fiction, fantasy and horror. I'm only eligible for the prize, but it's the first step. How super cool is that?
I was also recently awarded 'Dezmond's Angel', in the Hollywood Spy's 2012 awards. Thanks Dezzy. I've visited your site for many years now and it's still the primary place I go to get in the Hollywood know.
Other Cool Things:
I know I promised in the title there'd be other cool things in this post, but really all I can share is this image of some ice crystals… (giggle).
YES, that is super cool! Congratulations. And congrats to Rachel, too.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...I love Dez! Congratulations. :)
ReplyDeletethanks, Raquel :)
DeleteCongrats to Rachel! And congrats to you too on your award!
ReplyDeleteJai
Yay for Rachel, and huge congrats to you, Lynda for the nomination for the 2013 Ditmar. Wow! That's so exciting -- and it's cool, too, so no need for ice crystals 'cause you are the coolest! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone! If you want to see more cool things with ice I'd recommend looking up the northern lights reflected in icicles.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Rachel!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Ditmar Award? That is big stuff, Lynda. Keep us posted!
Hope you win the Ditmar Award and take me to the red carpet to accept it... what? You'd take your husband? Scandal! Scandal I say, do I mean nothing to you :)))
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it really has been years of our daily visits to each other's places!
Flap your wings, flap your wings, you're an ordained angel now... :)
The time has gone by so fast!! I'm a-flappin' and a-soarin' :)
DeleteYeah, my hubby has to put up with all my writing crazies, so he deserves an award himself! ;)

ReplyDeleteAnd crystals.... Giggle????
yeah, happiness makes me go a little strange... so does writing... as does a lack of writing... and waking up in the morning... ok, maybe I'm just a little strange all the time, lol.
DeleteAwesome on the Ditmar award. And congrats to Rachel!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Like Alex, this is big stuff and you should be smiling BIG. *does a happy dance and hugs*
ReplyDeleteIce...luv it. It always adds tension if you can get ice into a story...it's so precarious, firm, and yet slippery.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the Ditmar award list!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now that we are fellow Dezzy Angels, will you be Sabrina Duncan or Jill Munroe?? I'm obviously Kelly Garrett, seeing how I do have the last name of Smith. :PP
HAHAHAHAAHA maybe I'm Bosley...
DeleteCONGRATS to Rachel!

ReplyDeleteLyn, I love this. These things are a really big deal and I know, having read your work, that you are completely worthy of being shortlisted for such a recognition. Looking for updates with a happy heart!
I don't think decisions and announcements are made for the awards until mid-to-late next year. But I'll certainly keep you up to date :)
DeleteVery cool, indeed. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHugs and chocolate,
