Will We Ever See the Midnight Sun?

Stephenie Meyer's fans have been on a rollercoaster ride lately. They have been anxiously awaiting publication of Midnight Sun which the author is still writing. Then came the news that someone had posted the unfinished manuscript on the Internet. The author was so upset by this violation of her rights that she may not continue with the story. She says " My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely."

We will all have to wait, perhaps, forever, to discover Twilight from Edward's perspective. To read more of Stephenie Meyer's discussion on the stolen story, visit her blog.
