Just because I've been writing for a long, long time doesn't mean I've been good for a long time. In fact, I always tell aspiring writers that it is critical topractice, to cultivate a discipline and a daily habit of writing, just as you would if you wanted to become a soccer player, cellist, marathon runner...or anything else, for that matter.

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”
― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

Thanks so much for accepting my request! I love your writing, and I'm dying for Requiem to come out!
Hi Lauren, Just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying the Delirium series, I'm halfway through Pandemonium at the moment. Delirium is my constant pick for best YA novel of 2011, and I've been telling everyone. (I'm discouraged by the amount of attention Divergent keeps getting, when I find your work in Delirium to be far superior, but I keep spreading the word)!Here's wishing you the best in God's blessings. Psalm 103
Love love love your work!! You are such an amazing writer.... Thank you for sharing your talent with us! :)P.S I really hope Lena and Alex end up happy together...**fingers crossed** :) :)
Just finished Pandemonium some seconds ago und just want to say thank you.It was really amazing.When I read Delirium and now Pandemonium I got the feeling which brought me back the believe in love.Now I can't waint for the third book.
Thanks for accepting my friend request! I think your books are amazing and I hope you continue to write more :)
Thank you for accepting my friend request. And just like that, you're my second author friend. :)Love your work. <3
I just finished Pandemonium, and all I have to say is wow... Breathless this book left me. Five stars and then more. AMAZING
Starting Pandemonium SO EXCITED I loved Before I Fall and Delirium.Note: Usually books do not scare me but Delirium did for some reason it truly felt real. Thanks for being such an AWESOME WRITER :) Can't wait to see what happens in Pandemonium
Hi Lauren, thank you for accepting my request! I love all your books, and pandemonium was awesome! But OMG the end :O
Loved Pandemonium Lauren, the ending knocked my socks off! I listened to it on audiobook and the narrator, Sarah Drew, did an amazing job.

Before I Fall is one of my FAVORITE books. I never saw the end coming and I cried a bit but I was really happy how it ended. Fantastic job.
I'm currently halfway through Pandemonium and I'm loving it!!! I have 2 friends waiting on it already after I told them to read Delirium!

loved loved loved loved 'Before I Fall'. Thank you so much for writing that one! Can't wait to get my hands on Pandemonium!
Woke up today thinking.. " Oh man I need so much to read a Lauren Oliver's book!" Couldn't take a quote from Before I Fall out of my thoughts!! I wish you had superpowers as living the same day all over again so you'd easily have time to write like tons of books ! :P
♥ your books!

Thanks for accepting my request! I just read and LOVED Delirium! Your writing is so incredibly beautiful. It isn't everyday that you read a scene that takes place in between two horibble smelling dumpsters and are able to see the beauty in it :) I can't wait for Pandemonium to come out and I am going to pick up a copy of Before I Fall ASAP!

Thank you so much for accepting my friend request! I picked up Before I Fall a few months ago and absolutely loved it, but when I read Delirium not too long after I was completley blown away by how amazing it is! I love your work and can't wait to read more! Keep up the great work Lauren! :)
