Thank you so much for this awesome award! It’s so inspiring to those of us over 50. I’ve been a late bloomer my whole life so I don’t let my age get in the way. I hope others won’t give up on their dream just because they’re “old” (ha ha). I’ve applied for the SCBWI WIP grant but I’m already published so I’m not eligible for your award. Thank you so much anyway!

Sometimes late bloomers have a lot to contend with when trying to expand in a direction that’s new and perhaps a little scary. Finding support like this really helps to make that creative leap.
