I have won a BC Arts Council grant to write a young adult novel called Over the Pass, based on the character of Cole.
Normally, I wouldn’t blog about receiving money, especially when funding is scarce these days. But I thought that since you blog readers actually chose the story of Cole (over the story of Constance) and then you listened to me whine about completing the grant application, you should at least get to share in the celebration.
Champagne all ’round. Cheers to the BC Arts Council!
I now have nothing left to whine about. Unless you want to discuss the way my aunt put her hand on my belly this weekend and asked if I was pregnant. (Which I am NOT!)
Congratulations, Tanya! I'm happy for you! Debbie
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Congrats on the baby…I mean, grant! You're sister's right: you do deserve it.
Whoops — sorry about the typo (in future, must read comment before hitting 'enter').
"You're sister" should read "Your sister".
Mea culpa. Better go have a cup of tea.
Yay Tanya! Congrats!
