lost...Being an author sometimes you start to question whether or not you exist. Lost in a sea of a million other people... You need a little recognition, something to legitimize your hard work and prove that you are real.

After eight recommendations, months and months of following rules, and making it to the preliminary nominations ballot of the Bram Stoker Award, I was sure I would get nominated and finally feel alive. Finally feel like I was getting some real credit for all my hard work.
Sadly, that did not happen. Somehow I did not make the final nominations ballot.

Now I am back to wondering, who am I? Am I real?
Yeah, I'm glad this is not the Oscars, cause had the camera been on my face when they listed the final nominations I would have looked like I was going to cry. And you never cry on national TV.
Congratz to... meh... nevermind they have heard it before last year and the year before that...

You exist. You are real. You are amazing. This means nothing -- do not let it unsettle you, and you should feel proud that you got to the preliminary nominations ballot. But I totally hear you: there is so much out there you feel lost if someone important doesn't single you out. You have accomplished so much. Don't forget how much you've written and how much acclaim you've received, not to mention a loyal and large band of followers. And you can always cry on my shoulder.
