The December 2003 Silver Clitorides Awards Presentation
"It was the best of tomes; it was the worst of tomes."
My Muse rolled her eyes. That's her subtle way of letting me know
that I was NOT on the right track. At least she was communicating
with me again, even if only in the negative.
"Tis a far better thing he did..."
"It's good; the voters say it's the best this month. But better
than ever before? Are you qualified to make that judgement, even in
the hyperbole of an awards presentation?"
Very negative. I'd have to try harder.
"Are there no prisons? No poorhouses?"
"What in blue blazes does that have to do with anything?" she asked,
nearly shouting.
"I don't freaking know!" I replied. "Maybe if you weren't being such
a Scrooge with the inspirations, I'd type something worth sharing
with the readers!"
"I gave you the best words of your life, and you shredded them!"
"And you've given me the Dickens for it ever since! Are you ever
going to forgive and forget, or am I doomed to wear these chains for
eternity?" Damn it, I used to like to write.
She got a funny look on her face. She looked at the winner; she
looked at the screen. "I suppose I must be forgiving you, even if I
can't forget." She pointed. "Even as bad as it is, everything
you've typed has been on-topic for the winning title."
What? I read it all again. And smiled, slowly.
"Does this mean you..."
"Oh, just finish it up," she semi-frowned. Her voice was a good deal
more tolerant than even a minute ago. Maybe I'd get to write
something of my own after all. I returned to the keyboard.
"The winner of the Silver Clitorides Award for the Best Story of the
month of December, 2003 is The Ghosts Of Christmas Past by Frank
Downey.
"Congratulations, Frank! And well done to all the nominees and
finalists." Despite my personal beliefs, I couldn't resist adding,
"God bless us every one."
