Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Stephenie Meyer remembers beginning to write "Twilight" on June 2, 2003. Why was this a memorable date for her?

Answer: It was her kids' first swimming lesson

Stephenie Meyer remembers this day very well because it was also the day that her kids began their swimming lesson. Before this day, she had only written pieces of other books more than six years previously.
2. On June 2nd, Stephenie Meyer awoke from a dream that became her inspiration for "Twilight". What chapter did that dream eventually become?

Answer: Chapter 13 - "Confessions"

Meyer's dream featured an average girl and a beautiful vampire standing in a meadow discussing how the vampire wanted the girl's blood so badly, yet they were falling in love with each other. This is the basis of "Confessions", Chapter 13 of the book.
3. When did Stephenie Meyer find the most time to do her writing?

Answer: After her kids were asleep

When her kids were asleep, she had uninterrupted time to concentrate on the writing and would write a chapter or two.
4. After her dream, Stephenie Meyer began to write from that point to the end of the book, then she started on the beginning. When did she connect the beginning of the book with the chapter she dreamt about?

Answer: August 2003

After forming her dream into a chapter of the book, Meyer thought it was a better idea to continue her vision through the end before writing her introductions. It was late August 2003 when she connected the two pieces.
5. Stephenie Meyer used the works of what two authors to name Edward?

Answer: Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen

Meyer used characters from Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" and Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" to name Edward. She believed the name to be romantic, but no longer as popular as it had once been.
6. To what character did Stephenie Meyer give the name she was saving in case she had a daughter?

Answer: Bella

Meyer loved her main character like a daughter and no name that she decided on was good enough. She finally decided on the name that she previously considered if she were to have a daughter, having only been blessed with sons.
7. What source did Stephenie Meyer use to name her other characters?

Answer: Old census records

Meyer went to old census records to find names that were popular when the characters were born. That is why the names of the vampires (Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, etc.) are more old-fashioned than the names of most of the other characters (Mike, Jessica, Tyler, Angela, etc.).
8. Which two characters were originally named Carol and Ronald?

Answer: Rosalie and Jasper

Meyer changed the names to Rosalie and Jasper, but still referred to them as Carol and Ronald at times by accident while writing the manuscripts for the rest of the series.
9. What phrase did Stephenie Meyer search in order to determine a location for the book?

Answer: Places with the most rainfall in the US

After searching Google for places with the most rainfall, Meyer figured out that the Washington peninsula barely had any sunlight and was the perfect place for vampires. Then, after looking at a map, she decided on Forks because it was a secluded area surrounded by trees.

While researching Forks, she discovered La Push and the Quiluete tribe, in which she became intrigued enough to use some of their fictional members in the books.
10. Who was the first to read Stephenie Meyer's draft of "Twilight"?

Answer: Her older sister, Emily

Meyer started sending chapters of the book to her older sister for feedback in late June. Emily was the only one who knew that she was writing the novel and suggested that she publish the book after reading the whole thing. Meyer, having finally finished a book, took her sister's advice.
11. To what website did Stephenie Meyer first subscribe to find a list of publishers?

Answer: WritersMarket.com

Meyer was a little discouraged by the process that it took to get a book published but the love she had for her characters was enough to motivate her. She subscribed to WritersMarket.com and found several publishers that she could send her manuscript to.
12. Stephenie Meyer believed that her book would be published after a Writers House assistant fell in love with it. What part of the book did she read?

Answer: The first three chapters

Genevieve, a Writers House assistant, read the first three chapters of the book and became very interested in reading the whole book. It was at this point that Meyer believed that her book would be published.
13. What is the name of the literary agent who wanted to represent "Twilight"?

Answer: Jodi Reamer

Jodi Reamer contacted Meyer with a request to represent "Twilight". Together, Reamer and Meyer worked for two weeks editing the manuscript before sending it to editors at different publishing houses.
14. What was the original title of the book?

Answer: "Forks"

Meyer still has a soft spot for this title. It isn't clear why she decided on the name "Twilight", however, in my opinion, it is a more interesting title.
15. After what holiday did Meyer get her first preemptive deal offer?

Answer: Thanksgiving Day

Megan Tingley read the manuscript while flying and contacted Jodi Reamer the Monday after Thanksgiving to offer Stephenie Meyer a deal. Reamer turned down the first offer, asking for more money. Tingley agreed.
