News??
Sep 13th, 2008 | By Alex | Category: Book News, Featured ArticlesHey, I was just reading some stuff on Stephenie website and look what I found!
Can you post Forever Dawn, or send me a copy, or give me a summary, or email me the outline…?
Ever since I put up my “craptastic covers” page and included the cover I made for Forever Dawn (the original sequel to Twilight), I’ve been getting different versions of this question. First of all, here’s the reason why Forever Dawn will never be published: it doesn’t fall into the young adult genre. I wasn’t thinking about my audience yet when I was writing it, I was still just writing for my own amusement. When I knew that I was going to have to write another sequel, with a more YA focus, I went ahead and finished Forever Dawn so I could give it to my big sister for her birthday (how many of your sisters have ever written you a 600+ page book for your birthday?). Now, eventually, in the distant future, I will probably put up sections of Forever Dawn like I did with the Twilight outtakes. The reason I can’t do this for a long time is because the plot line of Forever Dawn is still working as a loose skeletal outline for the rest of the series. In other words, it’s chockfull of spoilers. So I won’t be able to put any of it here on the site until I’m past that point in the story. After Eclipse is out and we get a little closer to the release of Breaking Dawn, I’ll be able to reveal the first pieces of Forever Dawn.
And
What are you going to do next? Will you continue with the Twilight universe?
I think I need a break from vampires. At this exact point in time, I don’t feel like I will go back to Forks. However, I also don’t feel comfortable with telling people what I had planned for further novels. Maybe part of me is protecting those secrets because I’m not ready to leave my vampires behind. Or maybe it’s just habit from five years of compulsory secrecy. I’m sure it will be a while before I figure out which one is the real reason. Things will probably be clearer after I’ve been away from the stories for a while.
I really enjoyed working on The Host, doing something totally different, and I’d like to have that experience again of starting a new world from scratch. I have several other stories that I’ve been waiting to work on. At this moment, I’m torn between two, but I’m planning to commit to one of them very soon. (What is it!)
So what do you think the one she is going to commit to is? Also How soon will she post Forever Dawn parts on her website!
