I wonder where Meyer got he idea of a vampire sparkling?

She might have seen a guy all sweating from running or something and the sweat was sparkling off his chest and she thought: "Oh...thats pretty good!" and put it in her story.
o 3o

Apparently, she got the idea from a dream. What I want to know is, if you have a dream about a guy who sparkles in sunlight, what makes you want to call them a Vampire in the first place?

Your subconscious. It's just one of those weird things that your brain does when it's asleep. For example, you can have a dream where a dog could come up and lick your hand, and your brain will tell you, "D'aaaw, what a cute kitty! :3" I think in Meyer's case it was that she was dreaming of some sparkling guy and her unconscious brain was telling her, "That's a vampire."

I think dreams are fascinating. :3

Dreams are fascinating, and dream logic is fun 3nodding , but then, you see, you wake, and reenter the real world where there is only logical logic to be had.

So, what made her want to continue to insist that he be called a vampire

*shrug* Who knows. Maybe it was just one of those really vivid dreams that you couldn't get out of your head. I remember having a dream a couple of months back about a guy who wonders land carrying a string that extended into the sky--sort of like a kite. Turns out that attached to this string was a cloud break (the world is constantly cloudy), and where ever he went with his string, the sun would come out. There were others like him too, and every so often they would all gather together and crate a huge sun break. I woke up thinking that that would almost make an interesting short story if it was handled well.

It actually does sound like it would make an interesting short story, maybe a children's tale written like fable or myth?

Anyway, that's one of the biggest things I find perplexing about Meyers thinking, it's not so much that she didn't stick 100% to the original vampire myths, or "they aren't real vampires," but what was the point on insisting that that they be called something that clearly they resemble very little? It's not like the story would be changed much if she were to replace "vampire" with something else more fitting now is it?

My friend wants to have a girl so she can name her Rensemee or however the hell it's spelled. Her duaghter will be made fun of for the rest of her life, provided the Twilight fad has died by then and people have forgotten that horrid, horrid "hybrid name."

...That poor baby. She will be plagued by that name just because her mother thought it was a cool name when it's not.

This is just what happens when you don't take the time to develop your story. I think the version that she has now resembles more of a first draft. Now, had she taken that first draft, and planned everything out and developed her story, characters, and myths better, it could have been a damn good story. I think Twilight could have been really good had its author just tried a little bit harder. Instead she just pounded it out in three months, did a little editing when the publishing company made her, and called it good. She needed a second or third draft and she needed to take some time to develop her story. The sparkling could have worked had it not been some cop-out, lame a** excuse for them to be more beautiful and not burn up in the sun. Again, it needed to be developed.

i admit the first book was good when i first read it. but then all of the crazy twilight fangirls turned me off.

And that is exactly why I have no respect for her as a writer. It's not so much the sub par writing or abuse of the thesaurus, I've never been one to really concern myself with that when it comes what I read and enjoy anyway, but the fact that she didn't even try. People say, well she never intended it to be published and she wrote it for herself, but that's not the point! The point is she did publish it, the point is she still published it and released it out to the public without ever taking the time to see if it could be improved upon first. Writing takes time and effort, and there are hundreds, no thousands of writers out there who actually care about the quality of their work, who care whether or not their work is the best they can possibly make it. Who actually put forth hard work and an effort and who have passion for what they do. The fact that she's getting so much fame and recognition when there are so many out there who probably deserve it way more than she does, it's just aggravating.

Exactly! 3nodding
It's not like she tripped and oops! her book got published on accident. It takes months between the book getting accepted and the time it actually goes to print. She could have done some extensive re-writes if she cared enough.

Yep. And she's making a whole lot of money for that practically nonexistent effort. It's sort of unfair that she gets away with it.
