“I woke up 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.
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."
From that point on, not one day passed that I did not write something. On
bad days, I would only type out a page or two; on good days, I would finish
a chapter and then some. I mostly wrote at night, after the kids were asleep
so that I could concentrate for longer than five minutes without being interrupted.
I started from the scene in the meadow and wrote through to the end. Then
I went back to the beginning and wrote until the pieces matched up. I drove
the "golden spike" that connected them in late August, three months
later.”...
