Another Reason to Hate Canada (it's all jealousy, of course)
randomly:
Canadian writers may not always sell millions of copies of their books (who does?), but they do have an additional support structure in grants and awards. Such as the Writers' Trust Awards, wherein eight writers share in $133,000 in award money. If you figured Alice Munro to win one of these, you'd be figuring correctly. But there's more:
This year's winners come from across the country and include national icons such as Alice Munro and Peter C. Newman along with up-and-coming talents such as Saskatchewan-born Devin Krukoff. Other winners are David Adams Richards, Deborah Ellis, Elaine Dewar, Howard Engel, and Dianne Warren.Congratulations to all the winners. I'm guessing one of the things you'll want to do with your winnings is buy You Are a Dog. It's just CDN$16.95, and that would hardly put a dent in your prize, yes?

Because Blogger makes sense. Because Google owns blogger and Google makes sense. Because life is short and why would I spend more time than necessary worrying about what blogging system I was using. Blog on.
Didn't you hear? Geeks are cool. And Geekhosting is not just cool, it's cheap, and I've had very few problems with those folks. So there I stay.
