And the winner is ...
Ever thought about what you would say in your Oscar speech? Go ahead, admit it, you've accepted an award in front of your bathroom mirror. Well, NPR is now accepting entries for an Oscar Speech contest. Unfortunately, it's not for accepting your own Oscar; it is to be written as one of the nominated characters from this year. Since that doesn't really thrill me, I'd like to propose an exercise of writing an acceptance speech for any award you covet... Pulitzer Prize, Newbery Medal, Grammy (my fantasy choice) .... you name it. It requires you to think of what you are most proud of doing and why you excelled at it (or why you will in the future - no rules in this contest!) I think any time is a good time for an ego boost!

My speech for winning the Pulitzer prize for fiction:
I want to thank God first and foremost, for whom all the glory and honor go to.
I'd like to thank my editor and publisher who have helped me get this book off the ground.
I want to thank my best friend Julie. She was there for me since the beginning. She was patient while I bounced ideas off of her and wasn't afraid to tell me if it worked or not.
Thanks to my family, for being patient with me during the nights of writing and working. You guys are amazing!
Thanks to all the people who have helped me along the way- Lennie, Karen, Matt, for providing info for me and helped with research.
Thank you also to Michael, the inspiration for the book.
