1. I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was
also the first day of swim lessons for my kids. So I can say with certainty
that it all started on June 2, 2003. Up to this point, I had not written
anything besides a few chapters (of other stories) that I never got very
far on, and nothing at all since the birth of my first son, six years earlier.
I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream,
two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the
woods. One of these people was just your average girl, whereas the other
person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were
discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in
love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to
the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself
from killing her immediately. Though I had a million things to do (i.e.
making breakfast for hungry children, dressing and changing the diapers
of said children, finding the swimsuits that no one ever puts away in the
right place, etc.), I stayed in bed, thinking through the dream, as I was so
intrigued by the nameless couple's story that I hated the idea of
forgetting it; it was the kind of dream that makes you want to call out
your friend and bore her with a detailed description. (Also, the vampire
was just so darned good-looking, that I didn't want to lose the mental
image.)
Unwillingly,
I
eventually
got
up
and
did
the
immediate
necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the back
burner and sat down at the computer to write—something I hadn't done
in so long that I wondered why I was bothering for the fear of losing the
dream, so I typed out as much as I could remember, calling the
characters "he" and "she." listening

17. THE ORIGINAL TEXT
I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was also the first
day of swim lessons for my kids. So I can say with certainty that it all started on June 2,
2003. Up to this point, I had not written anything besides a few chapters (of other
stories) that I never got very far on, and nothing at all since the birth of my first son, six
years earlier.
I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people
were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people
was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a
vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were
falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the
scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her
immediately. For what is essentially a transcript of my dream, please see Chapter 13
("Confessions")
of
the
book.
Though I had a million things to do (i.e. making breakfast for hungry children, dressing
and changing the diapers of said children, finding the swimsuits that no one ever puts
away in the right place, etc.), I stayed in bed, thinking about the dream. I was so
intrigued by the nameless couple's story that I hated the idea of forgetting it; it was the
kind of dream that makes you want to call your friend and bore her with a detailed
description. (Also, the vampire was just so darned good-looking, that I didn't want to
lose the mental image.) Unwillingly, I eventually got up and did the immediate
necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the back burner and sat
down at the computer to write—something I hadn't done in so long that I wondered why
I was bothering. But I didn't want to lose the dream, so I typed out as much as I could
remember,
calling
the
characters
"he"
and
"she."
