Can you believe Maggie Stiefvater spent all those words trying to play greywarens off as fictitious creatures when she clearly pulled this car from her dreams. Incredible. Does it have an engine? I just want the truth
It has come to my attention that I live only a mere hour away from you. I applaud you in your ability to capture the certain something here in Virginia so beautifully and accurately as you do in The Raven Cycle. I was wondering if you frequent any bookstores to do signings, or if you would be open to doing any. (Agh I now realize that sounds kind of stalker-ish, I apologize.) I would also like to add that you are a very inspiring person and everyone deserves to know who you are.
Dear caddy-cowfish,
I’m actually on a bit of an event hiatus right now, after spending several years doing a billion of them. That said, I do sometimes stop in my local bookstores for books and casually leave some signatures in mine when I go, and if you see me in the Loud Car, I’ll never be offended if you wave or shove a book at me — me in that car generally means This is Me I Am Fine With Being Approached This is Not Private Time.
It’s an open secret where Stiefvaterland is but please don’t come there, I have all kinds of unhidden dreams laying about.
All events I have upcoming are always here: www.maggiestiefvater.com/appearances. I think I’ll be doing a handful when the first Ronan book comes out.
I am delighted you like the Virginianess in the books. It is my favorite place.
urs,
Stiefvater

When they talk about the tortured genius,
somebody always brings up Van Gogh—
how he swallowed yellow paint because
he wanted to put the sunshine inside himself.
How his psychosis was probably
the result of lead poisoning.
They call him a miracle, but what I see is a man
who was so sad, he found a beautiful way
to kill himself.
They say, “it’s awful isn’t it?” They say,
“It’s always the talented ones who go before their time.”
And me, a nine year old kid
who’s always been told they were so
talented
wonders when I am going to die.
We study them in school, the tortured artists.
Look at all the poets who killed themselves
what would their work have been without their depression?
It’s it beautiful, isn’t it sad?
As if depression is a parlor trick—
pull it out at parties, impress all your friends.
As if depression isn’t seeing how long
you can go between showers
before somebody notices or
pizza rolls for dinner three nights in a row
and then nothing the night after,
because going to the store is an impossibility
that you have not yet gathered the courage to conquer.
It is the least beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
and we call it the mark of an artist
to stand in the center of an ocean
and see nothing but desert.
To be seated at a feast, but still
swallowing sand.
Depression is the yellow paint, the yellow paint,
THE YELLOW PAINT, THE YELLOW PAINT, THE
YELLOW PAINT, THE YELLOW PAINT, THE YELLOW
PAINT, THE YELLOW PAINT, THE YELLOW PAINT—
Art is a coping mechanism.
Van Gogh is good because when he had nothing,
he had paint. When he was empty, he had paint.
When the world was awful, he had paint.
When he hated himself, he didn’t hate the paint.
He whitewashed over his own masterpieces,
because it was never about being famous,
it was about doing the one thing
that made sense when everything else didn’t.
And they say, “without his illness, we
never would have gotten all—this.”
because they value his art more than his sanity
because god forbid you lead a happy life
and leave nothing to remember you by.
VINCENT, by Ashe Vernon (via latenightcornerstore)
"And me, a nine year old kid who's always been told they were so talented wonders when I am going to die"
Damn.
