"There were a variety of different pressures influencing me: the fans, my mother, the irritation of an unfinished story. Honestly, it was more of a project I felt I should do than one I wanted to do," she said.

The author added: "Writing isn’t always fun and easy. That being said, there was a lot of fulfillment in finally finishing the story, and there were some sections that were very exciting to write."

When asked how Midnight Sun differed from Twilight's narrative, Stephenie replied: "Midnight Sun has a darker tone because it comes from the perspective of someone who knows this romance is doomed before it starts."

She went on: "Bella is very hopeful. She is falling in love for the first time and she never admits to any real obstacles. Edward is also falling in love for the first time, but he is one hundred percent positive that this love story can only end in tragedy. He gets to be hopeful for something like three chapters out of thirty. So, only ten percent happiness versus ninety percent dread."
