a long night, and still quite a ways to go::
Dr. Indy: Now, I have the pleasure to award the Golden Acorn for Most Improved
Author. It’s one thing to be the best, but quite another to take that first
great step and start growing as a writer. It’s a process, built story upon
story just as houses are built brick by brick. Each story is a milestone on the
path to the ultimate end, and some milestones are bigger than others. So it’s
to the author who crossed the most milestones in 2004 that we give this award.
The nominees are as follows:
Pupspals
Foxhound
CD
AQD Robert
Morgan K.
Thunderbolt
Dr. Indy: All deserving in their own right. Okay, envelope please…
::Monterey Jack brought out the envelope, Dr. Indy nodding
to the Aussie mouse as he left the stage::
Dr. Indy: And our most improved author this year is…AQD Robert! I’m told he
couldn’t be here tonight, but wishes everyone here well. Don’t worry, we’ll put
in the box with any others he gets.
