Finished writing letters to all the submissions for my writing competition. They all did such a magnificent job, and some of the stories were genuinely really good with interesting themes and ideas and twists that I decided to make them all winners. So they all get signed copies of my book.
I went to one school on Wednesday and announced the winners at assembly. Public speaking is not fun, but I think I did ok. But what really got me was as I was sitting and waiting, one of the kids randomly asks for a high five. Which I obliged. And the girl next to him goes 'Don't you know who that is? That's [my name]. The author.', which is a all sorts of absurd and crazy and awesome and yeah.
‘Don’t you know who that is? That’s [my name]. The author.
Bro, you made it! thats so fucking cool!
That's so cool and cool a kid asked for a high five and cool you obliged. 😄 Kids are so awesome like that.
They are ridiculously excited over small things and it's so damn infectious. Certainly makes me feel better.
