As most of you know I was a little obsessed (okay that might even be understating it just a tad) with the Twilight Series. I would just like to update you in that I am doing fine now that the fourth book (Breaking Dawn) is out...I feel like I can go on with my life now. But of course, I was looking forward to Midnight Sun (Edward's version of Twilight) and the promise from Stephanie Meyer that this was the next project she was working on!! Then yesterday morning I was walking on my treadmill and watching the morning news when LOW and BEHOLD they give the breaking news that Stephanie has put a hold on Midnight Sun indefinitely!!!!! I guess she handed out some manuscripts to trusted friends and some how one of them ended up on the Internet! This, of course, has made Stephanie feel very betrayed and violated (as it rightly should!!). So she just doesn't feel like she can continue writing it with the sour taste in her mouth!! I want to know who the culprit is and if Stephanie doesn't press charges, I would like to. Isn't this after all what all our mothers taught us when we were children..."your actions always have consequences that don't just effect you!" Hello, this is like Humanity 101!! I was incredibly sad to hear this story and thought I would share it with all of you, in case you had not heard!! So you can go to Stephanie's website and read the 264 pages of the unfinished draft. I looked at it, but haven't read one word yet. Still deliberating if I will...not sure if its the right thing to do...feels a little wrong.
On a lighter note....In case you didn't know...Twilight the movie's release date has been moved up to November 21 (3 weeks earlier than originally set). I guess Harry Potter has been moved to Summer '09 so this allowed Twilight to move up. I know this is "old" news, but give me a break...I haven't had a blog for that long!

I read it! I did! I figured that since she put the link from her website then it was ok. ANd...I liked it!! LOTS!
I read it last week and it is SO good. I thought it was better then all of her other books, even The Host which I liked better then the Twilight series. The thing that sucks is it only goes up until the Meadow part and then stops! You HAVE to read it!
I'm with you. It just doesn't feel right to read it and who wants to read something that isn't finished. I hope she is able to finish it. One of my Laurels told me on Monday that she had put it on hold. I don't know how people find this stuff out so quickly!
Maybe I will decide to read it eventually but I feel so badly that someone would betray her like that. Now we all have to pay the price!
