CANBERRA (Reuters Life!) - Author Stephenie Meyer, writer of the best-selling young adult "Twilight" books, has put the fifth and final installment in the series on hold in protest after a partial draft was posted on the Internet
At least on of the few copies that had Stephenie Meyer had given out has been released to the greater population. Meyer is very upset about this as it is a violation of her rights as a writer. The few copies that did leave her hand were no where near finished and each one is significantly different then what she plans on publishing as the final product.
I write about this because I feel that many people have been mislead by this story. The headline says that she "dropped" the book. When in reality she has just postponed writing it. The lead also says she has put the writing of the book on hold to "protest." In reality, the article says that right now she is too "sad" right now to continue writing. Although, this does give Meyer and he book series more attention in the national spotlight, which could be a good thing.
Blessings in disguise are sometimes easy to overlook.
Thank you Belinda Goldsmith and Yahoo News.
