What a place! Norway never ceases to impress me. It was the season of the midnight sun we could be outside 24/7. I knew that readers had been waiting for a long time.The first day was spent around town with Tom and Christian as we waited for the rest of our crew to arrive. When I did finally get to a point when I knew I would be able to finish, I worked to get it published as soon as possible. It made it easier for me to spend time with them again. Creating that version of the story let me get back to the characters in their purest form, just who they were as people, without any of the baggage from the movies or the fandoms. Life and Death, the gender-swapped version of Twilight I wrote for Twilight’s tenth anniversary, was unexpectedly beneficial to the Midnight Sun. Several times I would hit a roadblock and quit to work on something more amicable, but one of the big boosts to the process came from a break. Though there have been a lot of stops and restarts over the years, I was never away from the manuscript for very long. If I would have realized what a challenge it would be, I probably never would have started. And there wasn’t very much creation in this book. That’s what pulls me in and pushes me forward. It’s hard to describe how frustrating it is to write a very long book where you can’t create anything new, where everything is already scripted for you and you have no ability to go off that script. I didn’t decide to finish it now, this is just how long it took to write. I didn’t really return to the story-I never actually left it.
