Midnight Sun and Ellen
Posted in Books, TV by: AlisaI just finished the partial draft of Midnight Sun and just so you know, I’m not going to apologize for reading it. Stephenie Meyer put this version out there for her loyal readers and I believe I am one of them. If she finishes Midnight Sun in the future I will buy it and relish it as much as I have loved all of her other books. If not, I have gotten a taste of Edward’s perspective and it was delicious. The manuscript Stephenie put out is only the first couple of chapters of Twilight. It ends before they even make it to the meadow which was totally heartbreaking. If anyone else reads this let me know. I want to know if Edward is who you thought he was. I love him more than ever. And I loved getting to know the Cullens better. Aaah, I love how Edward describes Bella as silk over glass. What a perfect description of how fragile she is. I also love how Alice is fighting to know Bella but is also giving Edward his space to figure out what he needs to do. I sincerely hope that Stephenie finishes Midnight Sun. It’s fabulous. If you haven’t read the partial draft, read it.
As you probably know, Stephenie was on Ellen today. I loved Ellen’s opening monologue about vampires. Very funny. She said something about how they always look so great which is hard to do since they can’t see their reflections. Funny stuff. I skipped all the other guests and went right to my favorite author. It was obvious that Ellen didn’t know who she was because all the questions were generic. How did the story come to you? How did you find an agent? None of the juicy good stuff. Oh well. I’m happy for her fame and hope she’s happy too. Did anyone else catch Ellen?

I thought the same thing! I told Joel about it and said almost exactly that. I thought she really should have done some homework first. I mean, she seemed genuinely interested but it was annoying that she didn’t know the first thing about Stephenie or the book series. I did think the monologue was funny, though
I was semi disappointed in the interview….

I guess there is no way one can immerse themselves into everything they are presenting on a show, but it would have been nice seeing as how popular it has been with almost every lady I know, LDS or not.

Yeah, I thought Ellen seemed a bit clueless. Actually, I was wondering if Ellen was thinking about Prop8 junk and stuff, but then she seemed like she was just doing the interview because the agents set it up, not because she was really interested. You’d think someone would have handed her cliff notes on Twilight at least prior to the show.
