Twilight
Meyer says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream on June 2, 2003. The dream was about a human girl, and a vampire who was in love with her but thirsted for her blood. Based on this dream, Meyer wrote the draft of what is now Chapter 13 of the book. In a matter of three months she had transformed her dream into a complete novel, though she claims that she never intended to publish Twilight and was writing for her own enjoyment. Her sister's response to the book was enthusiastic and she persuaded Meyer to send the manuscript to literary agencies. Of the 15 letters she wrote, five went unanswered, nine brought rejections, and the last was a positive response from Jodi Reamer of Writers House. Eight publishers competed for the rights to publish Twilight in a 2003 auction. By November, Meyer had signed a $750,000 three-book deal with Little, Brown and Company.

My opinion about books and films…
Last year I watched the first film of Twilight Saga. It was excellent. It is a romantic story about the ordinary girl and the vampire. They fell in love and taught us to believe in happy life and proud of relationship. I read all the books by Stephanie. They’re outstanding…
The film is keeping me in suspense for long time. It’s wonderful. No one film grabbed my attention before I saw great Bella and impressive Edward. They make me cry and happy in the same time. I do like these actors and their films…
