At this point, participants who wish to discover INTERN's "real identity" (as well as a totally unfounded rumor about this blog being defunct) are spirited over to this page (scroll down to the fifth item in the list).
Otherwise, here's the news:
Huzzah! Novels! Gamboling! Dragon fruit for all!
Six!
ReplyDeleteTwo!
Congratulations!
CONGRATS! That is, indeed, big news. I would give more specific congrats, but then, it would ruin the fun for those wanting to remain in the dark (though, why would you?).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! But I'd prefer more scampering.
ReplyDeleteWoot -- good for you (on all fronts)!
ReplyDelete(But... "now-defunct"?!?)
CONGRATS! CANNONS! CONFETTI!
ReplyDeleteWhen they said your blog's defunct, they actually meant it's da funk. And I bet your book is, too!
This "YA" subgenre is also known as YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your book deal! Happy to hear that this blog is not defunct :D
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome news. Congratulations :-)
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! Congratulations, Miss Hilary Smith, now unmasked. ;) Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wonder if they mistook your unmasking as the end of the blog instead of just the end of your anonymity?
YAY congrats exINTERN.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! But I thought we were supposed to eat horse hearts?
ReplyDeleteYAY! So, so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteRyan: DANG! horse hearts are in the cooler! bring them out! bring them out!
ReplyDeleteMaine Character: they TOTALLY meant "da funk". INTERN didn't tell you she's installing a permanent funk soundtrack to play whenever readers browse this blog?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your massive deal!
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome congrats on this deal.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, that's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteHurray!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteWoah...AMAZINGNESS!
ReplyDeleteThis calls for a massive celebration across blogosphere :D
What a fantastic way to unmask!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.

ReplyDeleteFelicidades!~ Sooo happy for you!
ReplyDelete*gambols with*
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! Can't wait to buy multiple copies and shove them upon my peers.
CONGRATS!!! That is wonderful news. And now I must smugly admit that I tracked you down ages ago, after your first nonfiction book came out. (not many books on that topic published per year, you know?) But I never did tell, no sir. Very happy to hear your exciting news!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you, Intern. Long may Hilary Smith write.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Great job there Hilary! You are an inspiration to us all!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!!! *dances*
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, what an awesome auction result! I hope you'll keep writing in your blog even though now you're a big ole published author. :)
ReplyDeleteWOWIE ZOWIE! Congratulations, Miss Hilary Smith! I'm totally dancing for you right now.
ReplyDeleteOh, well done!
ReplyDeleteGamboling definitely in order. And maybe a little futterwacken?
ReplyDeleteHilary Smith! Good job Bob! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations INTERN...er, DEBUT AUTHOR!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI admit I read the article first and was all "NO! BLOG NO MORE?" but your post makes me feel better. Yay, so happy for you!
Hooray!
ReplyDelete(Is this another nom de plume?)
I hope this means you don't have to sleep in the car anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Congratulations, Hilary. I am very happy for you and look forward to reading your book.
ReplyDeleteBotanist: Futterwacken? What the heck is futterwacken? *lurches off to find a dictionary*
ReplyDeletePS to Everyone: this gambol's for you!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!!!! *tosses environmentally-friendly-but-sparkly-nonetheless confetti*
ReplyDeleteAnd you can afford sage sticks aplenty now. All is well with the world. :)
Hugs,
Lola
Damn. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reveal! Congratulations and thanks for spilling the beans. {}
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! I have definitely been dying to know who you are since I began reading your blog long long ago. Perfect reveal.
ReplyDeleteI already knew your terrible secret real identity! You told me way back when I wanted to know, and that was definitely super awesome! But I get to celebrate your especially very awesome book deal announcement! I am so happy and proud and I can't wait for your books to be available! :D
