Maggie Stiefvater Amazes Me Again

I was going to leave my computer and go upstairs to bed when I came across Maggie Stiefvater's post, Maggie and the Astronauts.  Go read her post and watch the video of her speech.  You will be amazed, too.  She is an inspiration.

Maggie is an artist, writer (she would probably put writer before artist), musician, composer, wife and mother and so much more -- and she is only 28 years old.  Check her out.

Now I can go to bed.  I had my smile for the night.   Good night!

Cool speech. In several ways, I can relate to what she was saying.

Looks like you had a large number of people attending your workshop!

Hi Bag Blog and Joanna, Maggie is an inspiration for all of us.

Ron, Hi. If you look back in my sidebar to Maggie's art blog which she doesn't update now that she is a "famous" author, you will find much instruction and ideas to help artists. She explains how she does so much.

There were 42 people at the demo, I hope some come to the workshop in January!

Thanks all for stopping by my blog. :)
