The Nebulas
So the deadline for voting for the Nebs is Monday. Am I nervous? I once roomed with a Nebula nominee (who shall remain nameless) who locked me and the other roommate out of our shared bathroom for three hours while she prepared herself for the banquet and awards ceremony. At the time, I thought, how silly.

Now I understand.

And I have absolutely no idea what my chances are.

The voting deadline is this Monday, March 31. If you are an active member of SFWA, whether you vote for my story “Pride” or not, I hope you vote.

My attitude towards all this is that I'm going to Austin to lose the award in person. Honestly, at this point in my career, it's enough to have been nominated. And frankly, if I let myself start believing that I have a chance, then I'll have no fun at all that weekend.

I think that's a good strategy. A friend of mine searches blogs for hints about her works, and she spends hours obsessing over what people say about them. It's as bad as reading bad reviews all day.

You know there's a saying that if you write your acceptance speech in advance, you won't win --

However! I notice you have selected a Nebula-like spiral image for a user pic. So unconsciously, you must be thinking positive.

I was there the year you were locked out of the bathroom and I'm sorry, it WAS silly.

But best of luck, Mary, and see you at the Nebs!
