Stephenie Meyers
Stephenie
Meyers was a totally inspired author in her creation of the world renown
Twilight Saga. Over the past few years almost anywhere you looked you could
spot a picture of white-faced, vampire-looking Edward Cullen or a picture of
Taylor Lautner posing shirtless with a fierce look on his face. Something about this crazy book drove
millions of people crazy, and to this day, I still haven’t the slightest idea
what it was or why it was intriguing. All I know is that Stephenie Meyers put
extensive time and effort into her series thanks to her motivation and
inspiration.
On her
personal website, stepheniemeyers.com, Stephenie explains the inspiration to
produce her award winning novels. She said it all started on June 2nd,
2003 when she woke up from a very vivid dream involving an average girl and a
beautiful, sparkly vampire having a conversation about how they were falling in
love but how he (the vampire) was attracted to the scent of her blood and how
he could hardly contain himself from killing her. This sparked the idea in her
head to put this dream down on paper because it was too intense and vivid for
her to let herself forget. Between all the things a mom has to do in a day, she
was constantly thinking and rethinking about the dream and coming up with new
things to add to the story. Stephenie explains how she would find time every
single day, usually at night, to write at least something. She’d have good days where she could finished
multiple chapters in one sitting, and she’d also have bad days where she could
only muster up a page or two at a time. With this almost obsessive compulsive
work ethic on her book, she completed not just one, but a whole series of
books, all inspired by that one vivid dream that Stephenie had.
