No, I didn’t set out to write a book, I didn’t set out to do something anyone would see besides myself it was just an escape from myself personally. (talks) You know that could be it because I did it expend a ton of passion in this project and uhm it comes acrossed as I’ve heard feeling very intimate when you read it and I think that’s because it was a story for one person and I think that’s a very intimate thing but, and I cant write when someone says this would be a really great idea, why don’t we do this. That’s impossible. |

Uhm when I started with the story I had a really great dream that had a vampire in it, which was an unusual thing for me since I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about vampires uhm it really, I’m not a horror person at all and of course the book isn’t horror but you hear vampire and think that and so it was strange for me to work with the vampires but what I did was made it make sense for because that was the only person that was going to see it, so that all, that’s the only person I had to please. So I got to make my own mythology and I really do feel now that I’ve done a couple of other things explored that it is no fun writing with somebody else’s rules uhm getting to make your own rules is terribly exciting, it really keeps you motivated with the story. |

Trippy is a really good word for it, its hard to absorb I really cant take it in. Days like today when its I have to deal with the fact that all this has happened is tough uhm when I’m I don’t think about it I am mom, I am Steph, I am a friend, a sister and a daughter and uh you know I don’t have to be an author, I don’t have to be somewhat famous, not really but you know in a little way uhm that’s not something that’s part of my everyday life. |

You know I used to be able to do that more when I first go started I was very involved with the people who read my books uhm and I enjoyed it you know I loved getting their perspective and one of the coolest things about hanging out with my fans is that we would sit around and talk about these people like they were real and so for that conversation they were real. It was like all of a sudden everyone believe in Edward Cullen so for this moment Edward Cullen is a real person and not just a figment of my imagination and I love that uhm as things got bigger you know you cant do that anymore and that’s one of the things I miss most about this career about this big thing taken off and that’s great but oh do I miss when I had those 40 fans I could sit around and talk with. |
