We pretty much sync up, minus me writing about dream journals. ;) I give Meyer leeway when it comes to the first chapters, though, because it's difficult to set up a new concept of the world and still keep readers interested. I guess I didn't mention this on my blog, I must have forgotten about it while writing, but some of the dialogue in "The Host" did feel contrived. I've never heard an adult male, when in the middle of a heated argument with another adult male, start out a comeback "Why, you ..." I mean, really? Are we in the 1950s?

I shouldn't dis the Meyers. If anything, I should be grateful -some of the ladies in my ward/neighborhood would not have read a book since middle school if it weren't for the Twilight series! She's making literacy vampire hot again! I am excited to see the movie, I will admit to that. :) She does seem like a really nice person. I shouldn’t dis the Meyers.
