Don't get me started...
Haven't read them, haven't seen it - but the sparkle thing is definite turn off. I prefer my vampire bloody and sponteously combusting, thanks.
Speaking of vampires, my 6 yro son got out of bed and stared at me while I worked on my wip the other night...
6 yro: Whatcha doin?
LD: Working on my story.
6: What's it about?
LD: It's a grown up story and has some scary parts and I want you to go back to bed.
6: Oh. (sprawls on bed, chin on hands) Who's in your story?
LD: Some people.
6: What do they do?
LD: Stuff. You need to go back to bed.
6: Do you have a vampire in it?
LD: In your bed? No, Shadow keeps all the vampires outside (Shadow is our 11 yro cocker/border collie and the most likely thing she is going to keep out is .... well the jury is still out on what she's likely to keep out of the house)
6: Nooo... In your story. Is there a vampire?
LD: No. Just people. Now Go.To.Bed.
6: (Sighs, scoots off bed, starts down the hall, comes back) I think your story would be better with a vampire in it. (wanders down the hall to the living room, where I can here him bugging hubs)
