I love that those books are what did it for you just because poor Stephanie Meyer gets so much crap. It's great to hear how you were inspired and I love the phlebotomist part. LOL.

I'm not a fan myself but I've read them and I know that though there's a lot to be critical about, there's also a lot to admire. Stephenie Meyers created a worldwide phenomenon, so she must have done SOMETHING right. And she got you to love reading, and eventually, writing. <br /><br />That's definitely priceless.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857711562597839692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600322131005020674.post-61307738223387112742012-11-30T06:55:53.129-08:002012-11-30T06:55:53.129-08:00I hate to admit it, but reading the Twilight serie...I hate to admit it, but reading the Twilight series, then learning Meyers wasn't going to write any more, made me start writing, too.

I am very sorry to hear about your son. I am touched that you took up writing during such a difficult time. Your story is truly inspirational.
