Awkward Annual Award Eligibility Post (for Your Nerves?)

That thing where I die inside whilst telling you I worked last year and trying to pretend like this stuff is way less important to a working writer's survival than it is wooooo!
I’m not understanding how Osmo isn’t getting the acclaim it deserves. It was a terrific Children’s book and Heath’s narration of the audiobook was also fabulous. I guess I’m going to start gifting it more.
I’m grateful to authors I like for pointing out eligible works. I didnt participate in last year’s Hugo nominations and was very surprised to see the absolutely dreadful “Light From Uncommon Stars” by Ryka Aoki in the final five for best novel. I can only think it was a rent-a-crowd job, despite the major revamp of the rules a few years ago.
As a reader I xan still relate to how it can be weird to do self promotion. Hey give yourself a break. You wirk hard to create things and have very right to be proud of that IMO. I love your books.
I absolutely ADORE The Difference Between Love And Time, I think it changed my brain.

Thank you SO MUCH for this wonderful novelette. It is absolutely marvelous.

Does your Hugos dress count as a Related Work?
