Ain't it true, Dawn! I want to be Neil Gaiman when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteHehehe! If I won, I'd run through his backyard in two-feet of snow, screaming my head off, too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think I would do that if an agent liked my manuscript, no telling what would happen if I won an award.

ReplyDeleteToo funny!!! Loved this, Suzan!! LOL
