Welcome to Gaia! ::

yeah well I was surfing the web looking for release dates for the host when I happened upon an interview with Stephanie meyer in it she said that she got the idea of writing twilight from a dream she had, and I immediately started thinking up things that could hav eprevented twilight from being written-like her mom calling in the middle of the night, or one of her kids getting sick or something.

So yeah discuss things that could have stopped stephanie meyer from writing twilight and what if she had never had that dream, would you be different (I know I would) would we have found an equally good book to be obsessed with, do you think she might have gotten the idea some other way if not from the dream? what do you guys think??

lol

I fidn it totally weird that the story and characters came from a dream...
I wish my dreams could make that much money :Roll:

Personally, my life would be a lot less interesting
without Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper and the rest of the
Cullens to obsess about.

Dreams are very helpful when it comes to writing.
I did the same thing with a dream of mine, only
mine isn't making tons of money. And it isn't getting
me an equally popular sequel. xx';;

I actually knew that Twilight's plot was from a dream since probably not more than a week after I finished the book for the first time. (Getting the book approx. two or three weeks after release) sweatdrop I was so obsessed with it, I scoured the web for the official site and read every little peice of what inspired Stephenie until my eyes just about rolled out of my head. So, yes. I knew early on what made Twilight. =o

Twilight, in a way, changed my whole perspective on life. Lame sounding, I know. It's the second thing that I've come across that has ever done so (Watching Scarface being the first. Again, lame). Without ever seeing the eye-catching cover in Borders which started it all, I'd probably have read A Great and Terrible Beauty instead, seeing as how my grandma was pressuring me into doing so. I'm so glad I have my Twilight. It makes me happy, y'know?

A Great and Terrible Beauty is an awesome book!!

I wouldn't compare it to Twilight, but it was still one of my favorite reads, indeed.

And I don't think it's lame at all.

Twilight has changed me also. For life. I can feel it.

~sighs~

all she dreamt about was the scene in the feild!
she wrote the story from there, then wrote the beginning
and in under six months the book was published!
