Stephenie never truly considered writing for a career. She figured she would never get anywhere with it. Instead, she decided on being a stay-at-home mom.Although Stephenie's primary interest had been on classic literature and never that of fantasy or fiction, ironically that is what she ended up writing.One night she had an extremely vivid dream and when she woke up, she began writing down chapter 13 of her first novel, Twilight. The dream involved an average teenage girl and a beautiful boy who somewhat sparkled. Their chemistry was what she remember most - they were passionately in love, but the boy was fighting off some sort of urge to kill her for her blood. She wasn't writing with intentions of going anywhere with the idea. The dream had fascinated her so much, she didn't want to forget it. Every day she added more in an obsessive manner and even kept a notebook on her nightstand so she wouldn't forget any ideas or dreams.Stephenie's story was so compelling to her, she decided she absolutely had to share it with others and got published. Little did she know the books would take off and cause a teen vampire sensation that would eventually lead to a sequel
and movies.
