Stephenie Meyer Lives Every Authors Dream

[image error]I had tears in my eyes when I went to see the latest Twilight movie. Wait a second. Let me explain. I am not nearly as pathetic as I sound. It was not the completely ridiculously delicious and terrible 4th movie as a whole that moved me, just one part. What I noticed was that in the wedding scene, Stephanie Myers, the author, makes a cameo. You can see here in the picture below, but they also do a close-up on her face as she stands in the audience and watched Bella walk down the aisle. I kept thinking what a surreal experience that would be. I feel like it would be something akin to watching your daughter walk down the aisle, and judging from the smile on her face,she thought so too.

If you think about it, she has spent years with these characters, loving them, nurturing them, listening to them, and helping them grow through their journey. The books have been out for only a few years, but she started writing them back in 2003. That's a long time to spend with your characters. I can't imagine what a wonderful feeling it would be to create something out of nothing and then get to watch those characters, get married right in front of you. That must have been one of the most amazing experiences of her life. I hope we all get to experience something like that one day.

If you think about your own stories, what would you like to be there to witness in their lives?
