Stephenie Meyer

Okay, I am fascinated by this woman.  Yes, we all love Twighlight.  What's not to love?  Average girl next door falls in love with a gorgeous powerful vampire who loves her in return with a power fierce enough to fight off legions of rival vampires and werewolves.  It's great and the success of her story has been impressive.

Here's why I think Mrs. Meyer is one of the cool people:

Think about it.  She was a stay at home mom just living her life going about her daily business.  Raising three wee ones while her hubby worked outside the home.  She had a dream.  It was a neat story.  How many of us have cool dreams?  How many of us write them down and then proceed to make full length books out of them?  Yeah, she took action and that's what sets her apart right away.

She found something about which to be passionate and decided to pursue it to the end.  Once she had her finished product she decided to push through the rejection in finding an agent and then landed one out of all the queries she sent in.  Stephenie didn't stop there!  She kept pulling out of her mind a story that would unfold in complexities and intrigues enough to create such a fan base all over the world that seems mind boggling.

Interviews with her to this day reveal her sweet nature and humble personality.  Don't misunderstand, her confidence is high, however, she proves that you can be confident and reachable all at the same time.  She has critics galore and yet one thing I notice is that she lives her life.  Now her husband is retired and they raise their kiddos together.

See, this story wouldn't be here if she didn't decide to do something about her dream.  She took out a pen and began to jot it down.  How many times have we had ideas and just let them slip?  Can't be a hater on her for being so successful when she did the one thing most people neglect to do...MOVE FORWARD.  Stephenie Meyer is creative and her stories are great.  So, yeah, she is one of the COOL PEOPLE!
