When I have no answers for my own questions, I come here to the blog. Maybe you guys can help a girl out....
Next week my BFF, Natasha and I are donning are Team Tee's to see an early release of New Moon. Yeah, we can't believe it either.
For the past six years(since we turned 30s) we've hosted our annual 13 going on 30 Weekend. We hang out with the teeny boppers in the day, then turn into grown women at night. It's a blast. But last year our 13 going on 30 weekend turned into a book buying, girlfriend bonding, hilarity when we chose to see Twilight, the movie.
Since then we've read all the books, including the not released Midnight Sun partial, watched the DVD and Blue Rays countless times, and participated in local Twilight event.s Honey, we have no shame in our game about our Team Edward vs Team Jacob fascination. In fact, this month we both agreed to reread New Moon again so we can be prepped for next week's BFF Day. That's how deep we are into this fru fru ness.
Now understand I'm participating in NANOWRIMO again. I have yet to write a word. I just don't feel inspired by my characters yet. So I wondered how did Stephanie Meyers come up with Bella, Jacob and Edward? What in the world did she do to write a story loved by so many women across religion, race, age, class? Really I wanted an excuse to throw in my writing pens and sit down. To me there's no sense in writing weak.
So I popped in the movie and found a special features interview on the DVD where Meyers shares that Twilight was the product of a really good dream. She didn't want to forget the dream so she woke up the next morning and participated in her own version of NANOWRIMO.
Does that mean I need to get sleep or dream better? LOL
