ROBUST discussion

This probably doesn't count as a rant, but today has definitely been over the top, so I guess this goes here.

Today is my birthday (at my age, no cause for excitement). It has been a lovely day, but to top it off I finally had word that my entry in the Dan Poynter Global eBook Awards has been accepted. I am officially a "Nominee". So I now have a webpage on the site (http://awardsforebooks.com/book-writi...) and a special little GIF to put on my websites to link people back to it. The fact that I plucked up the courage to enter at all is cause for excitement in itself! Added to the success I'm having with the Smashwords promotion this month, I'm on a real high.

Well done Katie! That is so cool!

/and happy birthday (whispers)

That's fantastic, Katie. I am so glad that you had the courage. I am smiling for you across the miles and Happy Birthday too!

I'm pouring drinks in the lobby for anybody who wants to toast Katie for both her birthday and her achievement.

Good job, Katie.

Thanks, everyone! Someone put a pin in my balloon on another site, so I'm not feeling quite so high today. But I'll enjoy the drinks before I go off to cry in a corner. Thanks, Patricia!

I have a hitman on retainer. Let me know who used that pin.

Happy birthday, Katie, congratulations too on being such a star, never mind the clown with the pin, in a month nobody will remember her name.
