Andrew Sims from Hypable was one of the few journalists who was able to interview Stephenie Meyer during her Twilight 10th Anniversary Edition book tour. Andrew once ran the Twilight Source website (now defunct) and hosted the Imprint podcast.
Fortunately, for us, Andrew asked Stephenie to clarify the status of Midnight Sun. Last week Stephenie commented at New York Comic Con that the release of Grey had put somewhat of a damper on her writing plans. Andrew got her to expand her answer which you can see below (You really also want to read the entire interview here)
Q: You said last week at New York Comic Con that E.L. James’ Grey put pause on Midnight Sun. So what I’m wondering now is, what is it going to take at this point for the book to be released?
SM: I’m working on it. I didn’t completely shelve it because of that. It was just that — I was telling this story — it feels like it’s cursed. Because every time I start it, something happens and it’s just like, ‘ugh.’ But… my mother is going to kill me if I don’t do it. It’s more true than you know. This is all she wants from me. Every birthday, every Christmas present I get her, [she goes,] “you know what I really want.” This is my life.
Q: So I wanted to ask you about that. What are some other things your mom does to remind you that she really needs it?
SM: It’s just whenever anything comes up. It’s just a topic of conversation. Life and Death, she didn’t understand why I’d do that instead. I think a lot of people don’t. [laughs]
