Oooh!!!! *chills* I hope they do this right! I am nearly finished with the third book and hope to start the fourth immediately. Such addictive reading, and I can honestly say I have no idea where the story is headed.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Twilight is driving me crazy, and its terrible, i was so set against going to see it but now im planning on going to see it with friends, but i will probably be critisizing it the entire time. It looks completely messed up. I mean laurent is black, he’s supposed to be like olive or something.
Sorry, i just hate it when movies aren’t right, you know.

Carli, Carli, give it a chance! Don’t go in there prepared to be mad! Let the movie be the movie, and the books be the books. As as far as Laurent goes, as long as he’s scary he’s fine with me.
Kelley, they are addictive, aren’t they! As long as the books are, I could still read more. I feel that way about the Harry Potter books, too–give me more words.

More words, indeed! And that’s saying something for an author, isn’t it?
Have you read Edward’s perspective on Stephenie’s website? You know she was going to publish it, but it got leaked, which I thought was horrible. Anyway, I figure I’ll read it after I finish Breaking Dawn.

It’s funny. I remember reading somewhere that Stephanie Meyer said an early draft of Twilight began in Edward’s perspective and she got advice to rewrite or decided to rewrite it, but I can’t find that anymore. I swear it was somewhere when she was giving writing advice.
And I can’t shake the feeling that whatever she was planning on selling was that. I’m not saying it is a bad thing, but just that’s what it was. An early draft.

Patrick, you’re correct–and Kelley is correct. It was the draft of this story from Edward’s perspective that got leaked earlier this year, resulting in Stephenie deciding not to publish it.

Actually i think she might still publish it, but not for a while. I haven’t read it yet because i want to wait for it to be published.
IKEA!!!

I am SO seeing this! There’s a great cover story on the movie in EW this week;it sounds like the actors who play Edward and Bella have some amazing onscreen chemistry,a vital ingredient to making this story work.

Stephenie has said that she started writing Midnight Sun as an exercise in characterization. I’m pretty sure that she originally started writing the series from Bella’s perspective.
