About: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series has been a true delight to read. I found myself reading these books for long hours into the night when I clearly should have been sleeping, so that I would not doze off at my rigorous internship work each morning. I think what is truly unique about the Twilight series is Meyer's ability to change some pre-conceived notions that some readers may have about vampires and werewolves (i.e. the idea that vampires do not come out in the sun because they shine, rather than burn). I also enjoyed reading Meyer's work from a writer's perspective. I have been trying to motivate myself to write a novel for years, and I have always told myself that I simply did not have the skills. I just wasn't good enough. Twilight has inspired me beyond recognition. If I could literally shake the hand of Edward and Bella and Jacob and all those wonderful Cullens, I would. I owe them my sanity. It was so frustrating to have such an extreme lack of confidence in myself. Stephenie Meyer's characters and her own writing style and qualities have helped me beyond words. I find myself picking up each book in the Twilight series when I need a place to look that will surely push me forward in my own writing endeavors. I have Post-its on pages that contain particularly beautiful language choices, or moments in the plot. I also respect Stephenie Meyer's dedication to her characters. She believes that they are the most important facet of her story, and I agree whole-heartedly. This is a series that really epitomizes "bringing characters to life." They are flawed. They are beautiful. They are real. This is something I admire in Stephenie, and I try to practice this vision in my own work. Basically, I think I should be Fan of the Month, because Twilight has set me on the right path, my path that was once only paved in my dreams. Now, my path is a reality, and I am glad to be finally walking it. It's one thing to be completely obsessed with a book, or the characters within that book, but I have been inspired by every one of Stephenie's words. I may not be the typical fangirl that dreams about Edward every night, buys all the Twilight merchandise she can afford, and finds joy in talking to her friends about what she would do if the Cullens went to her school. I have been given the gift of inspiration, and I guess I just wanted to share how grateful I am right here. Thanks!
