Stephenie Meyer and Twilight
Filed under Twilight
What would Twilight be without the wonderful mind of its creator, Stephenie Meyer. recently we uncovered an article that Stephenie did right before the release of the Twilight movie where she gives her thoughts about the movie, Breaking Dawn, and even Midnight Sun.
Stephenie Meyer was as nervous for the movie adaption of the book as we were, if not more. She says:
I was terrified for days in advance before I saw Twilight for the first time. I was so worried that it was going to be horrible and break my heart.
But luckily it turned out great and they are now in production for New Moon. At the time Breaking Dawn was new on the shelves and tongues were wagging their opinions, some of them a tad harsh. Negative comments like some that Stephenie got are hard to take but here is what Stephenie had to say about it:
It just made me nervous for it to come out. But in the end I just had to say, ”This is the way this story goes.” It’s almost like history to me. This is what happened! You can’t mess with what happened. But I’ve been surprised at how hard it is to have people in some senses turn on you. That’s weird for me. But it was weird to have people like me too.
So what is happening with Midnight Sun? While keep in mind that this article is from November, but here is what she had to say at the time:
I do not feel alone with the manuscript. And I cannot write when I don’t feel alone. So my goal is to go for, like, I don’t know, two years without ever hearing the words Midnight Sun. And once I’m pretty sure that everyone’s forgotten about it, I think I’ll be able to get to the place where I’m alone with it again. Then I’ll be able to sneak in and work on it again.
