Today is a red-letter day for Neil Gaiman fans - The Graveyard Book won the Newbery. My faith in award judges is renewed! What made this day especially fun for fans was the way Neil descrbed winning the award through Twitter and his blog.
This has to be the first time that fans have had such an immediate insight into an author's emotions and the way things change when he becomes a Newbery winner. To make the Tweets a little easier to understand, I've arranged them in chronological order here. Also, be sure and read Neil's blog post of the day. The tweets make more sense if you read the blog first. If you would like to continue following the Newbery adventure through Neil's Twitter entries, then sign up on Twitter and look for @neilhimself.
