Stephenie Meyer posted this beautifully written entry on her blog regarding the recent internet leak of Midnight Sun. We have our answer- the leaked chapters of Midnight Sun are very real and very much Stephenie’s. I think all fans of the Twilight series can agree that her words, reaction, and emotions resonate deeply. I’m so very sad to see that the publishing of Midnight Sun is on hold indefinitely.
As a fellow writer, I can’t imagine her feelings right now- she is hurt, knowing that someone she deemed trustworthy with her most delicate words and ideas is no longer considered so. She began writing this book as nothing more than fun, and it escalated into something she wanted to give all of us- a gift of her creativity, a winding glimpse into her fantastical underworld of vampire lore. She doesn’t judge her fans who wish to read…nor does she judge the person who betrayed her work. She merely expresses deep sadness and remorse for what she worked so hard for…for what could have been. Alas…it is no more…it may never reach it’s full potential.
And we all sit with heavy hearts and wounded thoughts.

Brace yourselves…because my blog got a thousand hits today. This is pretty un-frickin-believable as I probably don’t even know…25 people!!!
Given my preferences for celebratory actions (dancing, embarrassment, screaming, painting, the usual)…my only dilemma is how do I commemorate this amazing feat???!! The possibilities are endless!
This is truly, truly cool. THANK YOU.

***UPDATE: Total blog hits for today comes in as 1,300! AHHHHHHHH!!!
Last night Fitz and I watched Top Gun, and not surprisingly, it reminded me how insanely awesome it would be to fly planes as a fighter pilot. Which got me thinking…what would my call sign be? Tom Cruise was Maverick, Anthony Edwards was Goose, and Val Kilmer was Iceman (’cause he flies ice cold, no mistakes’). All call signs were very fitting and appropriate.
So I came up with this list:
1. Quinn
2. Q (thought I’m not sure if a one-letter call sign is allowed??)
3. Hales (a nickname that’s only been around about 6 years, but it’s a classic)
4. Miss (a nickname that has no specific origination, my parents have called me this forever)
5. Dancer (it’s just what I am)
6. Writer (also what I am)
7. Boss (what I always have been)
For some cool facts about the film, check out the IMDB page here.
I am still in shock that NO STATEMENT has been made regarding the leak of chapters 1-12 of Midnight Sun. I have checked Stephenie Meyer’s website, and well as the Twilight Lexicon, and no one has mentioned ANYTHING about this! Why is everyone ignoring the obvious?!
This is unprecedented, as Meyer herself has expressed remorse over Internet leaks from her previous books. Yet…all of us continue to wait…in silence, wondering how factual all of this really is. One thing is for sure- Twilight fans are losing their minds with excitement and this is one of the most buzzed about topics on the Internet.
Since there is no news to report and everyone’s lips are zipped…here’s a Flickr photo of Forks to float your boat:
Home of the vampires
Little known fact: Fitz is doing a development deal in Washington (about 2 hours from Forks) and travels there frequently. Unfairly enough, he has driven through Forks and says the area is beautiful.
Thank you for your fab comments- I love reading them!
On a side note, I think I am single-handedly going to attempt to bring back blue mascara….actually violet mascara. The makeup artist at Bobbi Brown used it on me last Friday when I attended a fashion show, and I fell in love with it. It’s YSL Everlong Mascara. Makes me feel like a rock star!!!
I also figure that if Justin Timberlake can bring sexy back, and if the CW can bring Beverly Hills 90210 back, I can handle bringing violet mascara into the mainstream.
I cannot believe how fast my blog is approaching 10,000 hits. This is downright insane, people!!! What shall I do when this occurs? In the past, I’ve always marked such milestones with silly dance moves that typically embarrass myself in a public arena. I’ve also considered throwing parades and having celebratory paintings commissioned. But 10,000 hits tells me I should think bigger…like intergalactic domination!!! Muhahahaaaaaaaaa (insert creepy and disturbing laughter here)…
***UPDATE: To add to the utter coolness that I’m feeling right now, I just learned that my blog is #46 on the top 100 fastest growing blogs here on WordPress. Also my Midnight Sun post has resonated with many, resulting in the #64 top post yesterday.If I could high five myself right now…I would (for those who are actually attempting this, to high five yourself is called clapping).
