Stephanie Meyer Says Bella Swan Was Not Based on Herself: Twilight Series.
Key Quotes:
“Bella Swan is far more mature than she [Stephenie Meyer] was at that age.”
You mean it’s possible to be even more of a whiny, melodramatic teen than the despicable Bella?
“Why would I write something I’ve already experienced?”
Because every other author in the world always advises “write what you know”?
Promised Bella vs Jane Throw Down post is coming ASAP. Just doing research at the moment…

You and your Twilight posts make me laugh! I was probably just as bad as Bella as a teen, except I was FAR less of a pushover. =)
Which makes you better, as opposed to worse!
Now I want to read the stupid book. Just so I can laugh at it.
Some people get famous for being awesome. Meyer got famous through being awesomely terrible.
Be careful, Carol. I know a guy who hated Gilmore Girls so much, he ended up watching every single episode.
*snicker*
Matthew completely wore me down on Les Mis and Star Wars. (Granted, those are both GOOD….)
Oh, I’ll probably read the whole series for the sheer joy of hatred, but I’m not going to end up re-reading them much.
Basically, I’m mst3king them! They’re THAT bad.
Speaking of which, I saw Batman Forever last night, the one with Jim Carrey as the Riddler? SO TERRIBLE.
I thought Val Kilmer did an alright job as Batman, and I actually liked the bits with Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones. They had a neat kind of comedy duo chemistry going on. You know, if you forget what characters they were supposed to be playing or who Batman is. Plus it’s not nearly as bad as Batman and Robin. Poor George Clooney had to win me over after seeing that piece of trash, which was no small feat. O Brother, Where Art Thou? is what made me like him, in the end.
“I am the paterfamilias!”
Or however you spell it.
If you like Clooney now, DO NOT watch “The American”. That is a critically-acclaimed movie where absolutely nothing – including dialogue – happens for the first 15 minutes or so. And then there’s some boobs. And then some people get shot. The end.
I was a Clooney fan for years but that one may have ended it.
Are you on Twitter? (I’m going to “Twilight” comment on your other post…)
No, I’m not. I probably will be eventually, but I tend to be slow to get with the times.
Oh, well, I was going to Tweet that you’re part of today’s Blahgger Cooler! Come visit my site to check it out. 🙂
Sweet! Thanks!
Your the reason I joined facebook. Now look at me.
You’re! I meant you’re! Damnit!
