Sorry I couldn't come read the post sooner, but I'm here now, and I just loved all the notes you took and how well you captured the charm of an event many of us couldn't attend.<br /><br />Maggie Stiefvater and Marissa Meyer are two of my favorites, and learning more about their creative writing process was great! Sadly, I'm not familiar with Nancy Werlin or Shelly Dickson Carr's work, but after being introduced to them, I'm intrigued by the concepts behind their books; someday, I'll have to check them out. :)<br /><br />Truly lovely post, Lauren!

I love that you did this, hon! I'm so jealous of you what with meeting these amazing authors, but I'm glad as well :) It's that good kind of jealousy ;) I find it funny that Marissa Meyer's idea of sci-fi fairy tales was totally stomped on when she originally put her idea out there in that contest with two entries and lol, hers was not chosen. I guess the joke is on the people who didn't choose this pot of pure gold of literature.

And shared with us! I will confess I went through and read mostly the Maggie bits,and of course you have wonderful things to share from her. I LOVE hearing that she steals her characters from real life. What I wouldn't give to meet her Sam. Or Adam. Or Ronan. Or Gansey. Or Blue. Or Noah!! Omg, mind blown.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/10/mgrantguest.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-40554444707615918562013-10-29T13:27:14.628-04:002013-10-29T13:27:14.628-04:00What a fascinating couple of panels!

I love the author's panel recap because it really revealed a lot about each of those ladies--and having read books by three out of four of them--I found their ideas on borrowing from mythology and folk lore to create their own stories really cool. I want to read Ripper now--I'm one of those that has a disturbing obsession with that particular subject:)<br /><br />And the art panel--how awesome! When I was in college I had a huge fascination with the camera obscura and those pic's that Morell took are amazing! How very cool to see the connections between both panels you attended!

I love my YA, but I actually think I would have enjoyed the art and technology panel most. I can't believe I've lived in Texas most of my life and still haven't visited Big Bend. That artwork is fabulous and makes me want to experience both places even more than I wanted to before.

Maybe one day we'll develop an epic and brilliant event like this. Thank you so much for this amazing recap, I loved Marissa's answer about the setting - "Why have cars when you can have spaceships". Indeed, Marissa! Also? I want to live in that library.

We're finally getting some author events over here, but I always love reading great recaps from other bloggers. All four authors sounded incredibly lovely and I love some of the things we were able to learn about them from your post. Also how gorgeous are those pictures, the one of Big Bend National Park and Brooklyn Bridge are definitely my favourites!

Thank you so so much for posting this, Lauren, it was really fun to read it...especially about Marissa Meyer. I've heard of the other two so it was really interesting to read their answers as well, but Marissa Meyer is the best :) Ha! at the random statements.

Anyway, I loved Maggie's responses (and thanks for clarifying about her borrowing looks and personalities). Now I kind of want to meet all the personalities she's borrowed Gansey and Ronan and Sam from! <br /><br />I'm a little worried about A Scorpio Races movie - I don't want them to ruin the book - but it'll be a long process and I doubt we'll get much news about it for another year at least. Also, I love Stiefvater's car obsession. I'm surprised it manifested itself only in her seventh book, actually, lol. Wonderful re-cap, Lauren - thanks for sharing!Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-43304194548362573372013-10-29T06:10:27.004-04:002013-10-29T06:10:27.004-04:00Thank you so much for the interview recap!
