Best of luck with the award. I do a small amount of voluntary work for a cancer charity. It is both humbling and awe-inspiring and puts any 'difficulties' with my writing sharply into perspective.<br />Your post is perfect reading for me as I settle down to a new week's work.

The obsession stretches to how many books you've sold, how many followers you have on twitter, how many friends on facebook. They're just numbers. Well done on being short-listed - how fabulous is that? I shall be finding out more about the hospice too - donating books is a lovely idea.Abi Burlinghamhttp://www.abiburlingham.talktalk.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-49291244022005508182011-12-19T08:45:18.773+00:002011-12-19T08:45:18.773+00:00Liz, I had no idea that was the first award you...Liz, I had no idea that was the first award you've been shortlisted for - even huger congratulations than I thought!
