"The first sequel I wrote to Twilight—Forever Dawn—was madami of the same. I wasn't planning a sequel any madami than I was planning to write a book in the first place. Originally, Twilight had a madami defined ending. But, when it was ended, I started Pagsulat epilogues. After I'd written three epilogues, all of them over a hundred pages long, I realized I wasn't ready to stop Pagsulat about Bella and Edward. One of those epilogues turned into Forever Dawn.
(People often ask me if I'm ever going to make Forever Dawn public. The answer is no. For one thing, it's not great—it's downright embarrassing in some places. However, some of the content will work as a loose outline for book four, so I can't tell you what happened, either.)
I was about three hundred pages into Forever Dawn when my life got turned upside down. Twilight was going to be published. People were going to read what I was writing. madami specifically, young adults were going to be pagbaba what I was writing. Unintentionally, I'd written a young adult novel. I realized pretty quickly that Forever Dawn did not follow the rules of YA. Because I was caught up in the story, I finished Forever Dawn anyway, knowing that it would never see the light of day; I gave it to my big sister as a birthday gift. And then I started on the real sequel."
