You win. :D Many thanks for the kudos (blush, blush), I truly appreciate 'em. I'm just now getting used to thinking of myself in these terms. As for the book, well, I can't help but recall <i>Throw Momma From the Train</i>, with me playing the part of Owen.

But I don't <i>want</i> to get over it just yet - it's still too fresh and exciting! It's sortof like opening that one last Christmas gift and finding something you least expected and exceedingly wonderful inside. Or maybe like Jed Clampett taking a shot at a rabbit and suddenly finding himself a billionaire. Or even... hmmm, this is giving me an idea... Hi Liz!

Robert, you got the gift and you're obviously developing the skills rapidly. Where are you going to take this writing thing? WILL people be talking about "that Hruzek novel" in 5 years time?

And yes, I think we should expand the categories, so there are more "real-world" prizes. Things like "loyalty", "honor", "dedication" - they can never get enough recognition. Carolyn, we should enjoy it while we can - now we have to actually DO something about it. Yikes! Oh, Karin, bless you for the thought!

For me the sound of the thud on the back of my head came the other day; my sister picked up on my using the word 'career' when I talked about my writing. I hope you're enjoying your new perspective as much as I am mine. Wow, talk about irony.

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:11:00 +0000 http://middlezonemusings.com/and-the-nobel-prize-for-literature-goes-to/#comment-385 Hi Bob, 'cause you are, I'm reading your wonderful, popular blog for months now! Recognise your moment of "aha - o.k. if you believe I am who am I to argue?" Last year I published (POD) my first ever, real hardcopy, paperback business novel (written I still think in my typical 'double Dutch English'). My mother, bless her, was sooo very proud that I finally done 'it' she ordered copies for the whole family, and keeps re-reading the thing (72 years old, never had any lessons in English, but 'struggles' bravely on, page after page and just recently told me she will translate it for me in Dutch, so her coffee friends - 70 72 73 and one of 77 also can enjoy it ;-)). Is there a Nobel price for translators? I want to nominate her. Hi Bob, ’cause you are, I’m reading your wonderful, popular blog for months now!
