Totally shocked about the nomination. While I won't say it was my only dream in life, I've always really, secretly hoped to someday be nominated for a Kerth. It's about as close to the Pulitzer as I'm likely to get!
But I'd also like to record my deepest thanks to every person who was involved in making the online links available for both the nomination phase of the Kerths as well as this next voting round. When I remember the days of wading through spreadsheets with hundreds of stories, trying to make some sense out of the sheer volume and randomness of it all, I'm just so relieved not to have to do that anymore. The whole process was much more user friendly this time around. That meant more fun and no headache. So thanks Annette, Kae, and whomever else was involved in that!
