Thanks!

Well, we do know, thanks in part to MS, that he really was suffering through this in the beginning. His thoughts when he first sat next to her in class were very intense. I don't feel inclined to say that at this point he was desiring to take her life, however we do know that he still wasn't so sure how strong he could be around her. So that's why he ran away when she leaned too close to him, he was being overly cautious.
That's my interpretation anyway

Anything i'm missing, guys?

The broken ribbon represents choice, as in the book Bella must choose between her love for vampire Edward Cullen, and her friendship with werewolf Jacob Black. Meyer also stated that the ribbon represents the idea that Bella can't break away completely from her human life

The ribbon for me is about the idea of you're trying to break away from your old life. And it's never a clean cut. There's always some of those threads that are so hard to break and for me that's Bella thinking that she can just walk away from her human life and it's really not that simple.

Do you think SM started to write Midnight Sun before she wrote Twilight, or at least portions of Midnight Sun? I only ask this because there are certain lines in Twilight that seem completely irrelevant, and then they are explained in Midnight Sun. And these lines in Twilight seem off-base, almost leaving me wondering why she would include such a meaningless line...until it is explained in Midnight Sun. It leads me to think that she had to be writing Midnight Sun prior to Twilight, or she wrote the two books together.

I am in the midst of reading Twilight and Midnight Sun together, and I took note to Bella's bedroom window. In Midnight Sun, Edward brings an oil can to make the window open more easily, and in Twilight, Bella thinks that the window opened so easily for not having been opened for years. Bella's thought seems so random in the midst of the situation, completely unneeded at the moment, but then Midnight Sun gives it meaning. There are a few other instances that I also felt this way about. In my mind, it just would lead me to believe she wrote the book simultaneously or Midnight Sun before Twilight.

When Twilight first came out I was actually on the phone, somebody wrote me a letter and said, "have you read the fan fiction about Twilight?" And I was like, "what's fan fiction? I've never heard of this strange thing." So I got online and started reading and I think there were thirty stories online at the time. I know that's changed a little bit. *laughter* And the reason that Midnight Sun exists is because of those thirty stories because when I read them I thought, "you know, people kind of understand Bella. They're getting her. They do not understand Edward at all," and I was a little offended because how could they not realize what he's going through? So I wrote the first chapter from Edward's perspective, just to say, "Look, this is how they're going to ------ people.
