I always forget something when I do these little reports. I mean to create checklists but then I forget. I need to create a checklist with create checklist” right above read checklist.” Or perhaps just below.

The big news this month is that I am a Hugo finalist for Best Fan Writer. This is the fifth time I have been a finalist for this award. Experience suggests I will lose for the fifth time… but since I also was sure I’d never be finalist again after 2011 and 2020, maybe I will be wrong this time. In any case, it is an honour to be a finalist.
