Teaser Tuesday!  
I've been doing Teaser Tuesday snippets over on Twitter and Facebook for the past couple of weeks and realized that I had been meanly excluding my blog. So I figured I would remedy that by gathering all of the teasers I have posted so far for FOREVER and putting them in one place.

Here are the teaser sentences I've posted so far:

Week 1: “Grace,” I whispered. “This isn’t how it ends.”

2: "Cole," I breathed. "What have you done to yourself?"

3: I had no real idea where I was, but I knew this: I was nowhere near Mercy Falls.

4: I said, “Uh — six minutes since I found him. He’s not breathing.”

5: “Just tell me. Is there something going on between you two?”

FURTHER TEASERS!

I have a 12 hour and 36 minute long playlist for FOREVER, since there are 8 weeks until FOREVER comes out, here are the top 8 songs with the most plays (I listened to most often while writing).

8. "Lille" - Lisa Hannigan
7. "First Floor People" - Barcelona
6. "Gutter" - Paper Route
5. "Comes and Goes (In Waves)" - Greg Laswell (iTunes LIES. This was the song that influenced me the most)
4. "Devil You Know" - Pinback
3. "Honey Honey" - Feist
2. "Sandra's Theme" - Danny Elfman
1. "One Last Message" - Andrew Lockington

FURTHER, FURTHER TEASERS

Things I have said about FOREVER: "It has happier moments than either of the two books . . . and SADDER MOMENTS than either of other two books."

FURTHER, FURTHER, FURTHER TEASERS

Me reading the first chapter of FOREVER.




Well, you just don't get more teasery than that.

Eeep! Now I really can't wait for the book! I read the teasers on both Facebook and Twitter when you posted them but I still get excited every time I read them!
I can't wait for you to come to the UK either! I don't care how far away you are or how much it will cost I am definitely coming to see you! You are one of my all time favourite authors ever!!!!
=] xxx

Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:48 pm (UTC)
Ahhh, thank you! I can't wait to come back to the UK, either.

I am a total music freak, mostly heavy metal however but I gave this music a listen and can totally picture Same listening to it and why it would be so inspiring to you while writing this book. I cannot wait for it to come out!! Also looking forward to Shiver the movie although I am very disappointed that you do not have much input in the casting and other details, I know it would be that much better if you did. P.S I love Pinback , it is my weakness, just don't tell my metal friends!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:49 pm (UTC)
LOL, metal friends who don't listen to Pinback are not friends at all! (I have my affection for metal as well, but it's pretty much never going to be something I write to).
zennie_lovezennie_love on May 17th, 2011 01:25 pm (UTC)
Comes and Goes (In Waves) is an all time favorite song...but it's so sad and emotional! Maggie, what did you do? Ahhhh I listen to that when I need to write something uber sad yet romantic and... :(
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:49 pm (UTC)
>:D I love that song. And the lyrics are so apt . . .
zennie_lovezennie_love on May 19th, 2011 01:21 am (UTC)
I feel like it definitely had something to do with Isabel. Especially the "This one's for the lonely. The ones that seek and find. Only to be let down, time after time." It seems to fit her so well.
booknerd10booknerd10 on May 17th, 2011 03:33 pm (UTC)
This is so cruel but I love it!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:49 pm (UTC)
Hee hee. I'll have to think of something newly evil to do when FOREVER comes out. Whatever could that be?
booknerd10booknerd10 on May 18th, 2011 03:51 pm (UTC)
OR you could put my mind at ease and tell me that Sam and Grace live happily ever after and that I won't cry this time so that I can finally read in public? Just a suggestion!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 06:33 pm (UTC)
Ha! Ha! Ha!
booknerd10booknerd10 on May 19th, 2011 03:25 pm (UTC)
I take it that's a no? It was worth a shot!

Love it, once again you rock.

Why thanks!

i like how on the side of the page where it says "tags" it says "butt-kicking children," though the font sizes are different. Still.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:47 pm (UTC)
So true on so many levels.

My jaw dropped (slightly, I am in public after all) when I saw Gutter by Paper Route! They opened for one of my favorite artists at a concert last year. I got to hug the band afterwards. I never thought my two loves would meet! :D
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:47 pm (UTC)
Haha, I love that song in particular (also "Wish").
Gillian ArendsGillian Arends on May 17th, 2011 10:06 pm (UTC)
Wickedly awesome, Maggie!! I can't wait for Forever!! :P But I have one teensy question: Was the girl Grace?? I would die if it were!! :) Good job!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:47 pm (UTC)
AND YOU THINK I WILL TELL YOU! Ha! Double ha! :D
Gillian ArendsGillian Arends on May 20th, 2011 02:13 pm (UTC)
lol, i thought i could catch you off gaurd...:)
Erinnisawesomee: fairytaleserinnisawesomee on May 17th, 2011 10:27 pm (UTC)
I love all your teasers! For some reason, reading your impossibly cruel teasers makes my day. Apparently I'm a masochist
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:47 pm (UTC)
Ahahaha. :) <3
desert_sparrow on May 17th, 2011 10:47 pm (UTC)
I love the drawing in your icon. Conveys a lot, given its simplicity.
Maggie Stiefvater: Grace and Sam line drawingm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:46 pm (UTC)
Thank you! it's a very old one I did back when I was writing Shiver.
arieleishen on May 17th, 2011 11:38 pm (UTC)
Squeeee overload! I love when you post your playlists. I'm a ginormous music person so I love branching out my own playlists. Thanks for posting!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:46 pm (UTC)
You're very welcome!!!

Tease!

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!!!
What delightful torture x)
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:46 pm (UTC)
Hahaha! I'm only ensuring I'll have a mob with a pitchfork if FOREVER fails to deliver.

Failed message XD
Hey Maggie - I tried to send you a message, but I just learned that you disabled something there. So here's my message as was redacted, copied and pasted - since I felt editing to make it sound like a "comment" wouldn't be right. n.n

"Hey Maggie - it's been SUCH a long time!!

But I had to write to you and send you a pic of something I found on my local library this afternoon: I felt such a jolt when I saw it, and then I felt immensely proud - even though I've got NOTHING whatsoever to do with it. Your posts, however, are the sole posts I still check from time to time when I need to buttkick myself into drawing stuff - so it was sort of a reminder of "hey, it CAN be done" n.n

Now, I didn't remember that livejournal doesn't let me send attached pictures in messages - I haven't used this thing in ages - so this shows how little planning went into this, but... Well. It's up on my facebook wall - here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2058790590423&set=a.1084430672034.2014356.1264382304&type=1&ref=nf. Hope you can see it. If not, feel free to add me if only to get a glimpse of this. I don't love the sound of the title in spanish, but I totally dig the way they respected Scholastic's cover. I bought a couple, or I guess I did since I made my boyfriend buy one for himself XD, but I'm still promoting it anyway ;)

Oh well - I hope you're doing great. I'm sure you are, by the looks of it. It's so good to send you something like this - please keep it up n.n

All the best,

Erika*

And I promise to keep buttkicking myself with your posts. :)"

Re: Failed message XD
Erika, that is completely awesome. <3 <3 It's so amazing to think of it in GIANT STACKS in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRY. Thank you so so much for this!!!

p.s. I am very glad that you are continuing to butt kick.

Maggie

Oh my gosh, Maggie! The only songs I hadn't heard before reading this post were "Gutter" and "Honey Honey" :) I am having great expectations for Forever. First off, the first chapter sounds amazing, and now Pinback, Lisa Hannigan and Danny Elfman all on the same playlist? :D Dream come true
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:45 pm (UTC)
With a 12 hour playlist, every song in the world is on it. ;p
Alba Solorzanoalba2alba on May 18th, 2011 04:08 am (UTC)
now I have all these songs playing in my head!!!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on May 18th, 2011 01:50 pm (UTC)
That must be delightful. :)
Alba Solorzanoalba2alba on May 18th, 2011 05:52 pm (UTC)
it is! even though my sisters are getting tired of the same songs!! hehe

5: “Just tell me. Is there something going on between you two?”

this makes me worried! ):
jelly annlolobean216 on May 18th, 2011 11:48 pm (UTC)
this really isn't fair, that i now am MORE excited for FOREVER and I still have to WAIT? :(
Tamara JuarezTamara Juarez on May 19th, 2011 12:05 am (UTC)
ARRRG!!! WHY MUST YOU TORTURE US SO?
bandana1bandana1 on May 19th, 2011 07:30 am (UTC)
I fear for the Wolves. You may be causing my hair to go greyer with the anxiety I'm feeling due to these EVIL teasers! -well played you!
Love "Winter Song." Thanks for being my favorite connections to great music, wonderful books & authors and really cool stuff.
a_lgn4a_lgn4 on May 19th, 2011 04:45 pm (UTC)
How you tease us! I'm so upset by these teasers. I only hope all ends well, otherwise I'll cry like a baby. Thank you for more music, I love your playlists. And "Winter Song" is so beautiful!
JP: shigurewriterjpmarsull on May 19th, 2011 09:36 pm (UTC)
So, ah, Maggie. I wish so dearly I could write in first person. But I can't. No, really, every time I try, I end up making the main character ME. Is there a CURE for this? Yes? No? Helpless? Also, watched your Scholastic video: HORSES, and A BEACH. *Calls Little Shop to reserve my books*
kimberlytmkimberlytm on May 21st, 2011 01:31 pm (UTC)
". . . and SADDER MOMENTS than either of other two books."

This SCARES me!

Frank Turner
Speaking of music, have you listened to Frank Turner? If not, listen to 'Substitute'! I feel sure this is Maggie-music. It is just that good.

Re: Frank Turner
WHY that IS Maggie Music!!!!

Re: Frank Turner
YES it IS, I think I may not listen to anyone else for a MONTH

After enjoying Einstein's Brain by Lance Morrison, that is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI3WYueQWa0
