Adopted dog update: Athena reports she finds her new life A+. Stiefvaterland has two acres of the farm in dog fencing, and three other dogs who instantly adored her, and children who huggle her. You can see the difference a week has made in her face.

(last week:)

ETA: I find these gentle smiles of her more remarkable now that the vet told us (while doing dental surgery to correct damage that seems to be from trying to chew through metal) that she still has a BB pellet embedded in her face.

1. She’s beautiful. 2. Maggie Stiefvater lives in a legitimate fairyland.

It’s my birthday. I have a broken finger and bronchitis. :)

my favourite ever literary trope is “you want me to be a villain? i’ll show you a villain” that shit gives me goosebumps and given the right context also turns me on

I haven’t posted anything on facebook since 2015

[thebookbanshee]

The only things I post are “shared” posts of animal videos and vine compilations. If you didn’t count those, I’m pretty much on the same level. o_o

Things I Need: 🔥 Books about dragons 🔥 Dragons that aren’t your typical dragons 🔥 DRAGONS

I loved the Memoirs of Lady Trent from @torbooks because they weren’t your typical fantasies and involved DRAGONS 🐉 Plus the science approach to looking at dragons appealed to my biologist side 🔬

Oh man, guys, I really like this book I’ve written.

[fracturedbitsofstarlight]

I had to reread that because I have never seen a writer say that ever and as a writer I envy you.

WHAT

There are so many comments on this post to this effect.

Dude! writers, artists, do what you need to do to gain objectivity and feel satisfaction for what you’ve done!

Art as pain and pain as art and the Eternal Dissatisfaction of the Poignant Creator™ is so 19th century. 

Creating the art you wish you could see in the world but don’t, and then being fucking PSYCHED when you’ve done it™ is very 2018.

My love for this post tripled when I noticed who the op is.

Maggie Stiefvater is my hero.

Talk to me about your goals as a book blogger.

[thebookbanshee]

To be inspired by all my fellow readers to read, and write, and be silly, and think deeply, and just enjoy the life that comes with being a reader, and to hopefully do the same for them.
