Not gray, exactly. right before the sun rises there's a moment when the whole sky goes this pale nothing color-not really gray but sort of, or sort of white, and i've always really liked it because it reminds me of waiting for something good to happen.

More From Lauren Oliver

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.

I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.

Everything does come from nature. that's where you get new ideas. just draw the landscape. i felt doing it with a bit of burnt wood was also good because i was drawing burnt wood with a piece of wood. i wanted to do black and white. after using color, i thought black and white would be good. you can have color in black and white. there is color in them, actually.
