Question: Do you imagine Stephenie Meyer cares one hoot that you think her 25 million selling books are poorly written!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Quite frankly, I'm puzzled!. If her books, as you say, are poorly written, why then have they sold 25 million!? What does that say about the 25 million who bought them!? I think that if one says a book is poorly (or well) written is a matter of opinion!. If Stephenie Meyer doesn't care that her books are poorly written, she's fooling a lot of readers!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nothing of the above is supposed to be impolite!. We still agree that the novels are poorly written, though we accept that they are addictive to many people and dearly loved, too!. Therefore, we have agreed not attack the fan crowd anymore for their love of the novel, just as much as we expect not to be attacked for not liking it quite so much!.

Probably not, which actually makes her even worse!. If she's happy that she's just getting a whole bunch of money out of it, then obviously she won't care how the books are written, as long as they get written on time and hit the bookshelves on schedule so millions and millions of idiots (myself included) can waste a couple of days of their lives hoping the story is actually going somewhere, only to have their hopes crushed!. Seriously, after the second one, I bought book after book, hoping there was a point to it!. But there wasn't!. At least I have the paper, and the covers are really pretty!. And she's made around $60 off me, so everyone wins!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably not; she made money off of them! If I was her, I wouldn't care either!

She said in an interview that she finished writing Twilight (the first one) in 4 months, and she wrote it with 3 young children, so I can kind of understand why the writing style was not amazing!. She rushed through it, and I'm sure her priority at the time was her family, not writing a novel!. Actually, she also said she never planned for it to BE a book in the first place, she just had a dream and decided to write the dream down on paper before she forgot it, and the story got so long that she was like: hey, this could be a book!

The other three books took her a year (each) to finish!. I think if she hadn't rushed through it, the writing could have been amazing because it's a good story, just bad writing!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I doubt it, but I still have the right to express my opinion!. It never was meant for Stephenie Meyer's ears, anyways!.

TT, Proud Treehouse Member!.

Twilight Fan: Treehouse members are being polite here!. I'm not quite sure how you got the impression of rudeness!. If saying the books are poorly written is your idea of rudeness, then you saying the books are well-written should be classified as rudeness as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If she doesn't, then she's not much of an author!.

But no, I don't imagine she cares!. I imagine she's sitting back wondering how next to rip her fans off!. Anyone who seriously thinks rewriting an existing story from a different POV classes as a "new novel", to be published at full price, obviously doesn't have much regard even for her fans, let alone those who criticise her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have no desire to read the Twilight books!. I am sure that Meyers doesn't care since she is making a ton of money and has many fans!. However, since I have never met her, I have no idea how she feels!.

Based on reviews of her books, I suspect strongly that this is a case of Sturgeon's Law!. (And there is a heckova lot of crap that gets published!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think even she knows how badly written her books are, but she's too blinded by money, power and fame!.

Would an author openly admit how badly written his/her books are!?

EDIT: I didn't intend my answer to be 'impolite!.' Lots of people get lost when they are filled with money and power!. It's true!. That's just the way life works!. But if I offended anyone in any way, then I'm sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, she does!.

If she thinks that her book was badly written, why publish it at all!?
I mean, books are for people to enjoy!.
Anyway, publishers are very strict with books and so are editors!.

Plus, I don't think that her books are badly written!.
Hope I helped!

PS: Aren't Treehouse Members supposed to be polite now!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

As long as she is happy with it there is no reason for her to care what anyone else thinks!.

Treehouse members DO have to polite, but that does not mean that we won't voice our opinions!. There was nothing offensive in my answer, nor the answers above me!. There was nothing rude or mean directed at ANY fan!.!.!.we are polite!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Excuse me!?!!!!!!!

I thought that the Twi-haters were supposed to be polite now!. Lynn's Angel Savious I expected something better from you :@Www@QuestionHome@Com

Clearly she doesn't because she wrote three more after her 1st poorly written book!.!.!.!.

Treighhouse Member since today!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Her books are poorly written, so do you really think she'd be able to notice!?

:PWww@QuestionHome@Com

My guess is that she thinks they are actually well-written!.

What are "Treehouse members"!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
