Oh to be so clever.

So, we watched the movie Twilight yesterday...based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer. Afterward, we watched the deleted scenes and extended scenes, as well as, the clips showing the transition from paper to film. In this they had the author sharing how she developed her story. She had a dream...and it was such a good dream she wanted to know what happened before and after, so she wrote it down. Well, her dream amounts to all of chapter 13 in book one. She managed to write the first twelve chapters...the chapters that followed to complete book 1 and oh, 3 more books each totaling over 600 pages. I wish I were that good.
