Ingrid Law, excellent award-winning author, well-known for her book Savvy, spoke with Jennifer Holm and Kirby Lawson at ALA during one of the workshops on what it's like to be an author who has won awards for their first book in writing successive books. All three authors have written further award-winning books. It was exciting to hear them speak. They were all filled with passion and energy and a true love for their craft. Check out Ingrid's blog!
This blog began with my librarian journey in 2008.It’s named for my disheveled barnyard in Radnor, PA.Our fixer-upper is an old carriage house with barns that was converted into a home.My husband placed a blue tarp on the worst of the roofs and claims he is going to take time off to work on it.My neighbors often ask when rehab will begin.So far it's been 5 years...Only 10mi from Philly, I’m amazed at the wildlife our barn attracts—bats, owls, raccoons, skunks, foxes, deer, and insects galore.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
