Once I decide Bella lives in Washington, all the other places she might have lived are gone. Until I need to know a certain fact about the character, all the possibilities stay open out there in that universe of possibilities. If I set something in concrete prematurely, it could be a stumbling block later, so I try to keep an open mind about details until they become necessary to the story. If I explore a character too early, that can lock me into a situation that might be difficult to work with later.
Vampires and pregnancy: when did that idea occur to you? How does that work? Bella reads about several real vampire legends—the Danag, Estrie, Upier, etc. In the novel, I only mentioned a few of the many legends I read through. The unique feature about that legend was that the incubus could father children.
Hmmm , I said, and I filed that kernel of an idea away for later. When I decided to write the first sequel to Twilight Forever Dawn , I knew it was going to revolve around a hybrid baby from the outset. Everything I wrote was pointed in that direction.
I focused my answers on the female half of the equation—female vampires cannot have children because their bodies no longer change in any aspect. There were many statements on this subject purported to have come from me, but I never made those comments because, obviously, I knew where this was going.
None of this story is possible. Within the context of the fantasy, however, this is how it works:. Vampires are physically similar enough to their human origins to pass as humans under some circumstances like cloudy days.
There are many basic differences. They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin. The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells, they are hard and reflective like crystal.
A fluid similar to the venom in their mouths works as a lubricant between the cells, which makes movement possible note: this fluid is very flammable. A fluid similar to the same venom lubricates their eyes so that their eyes can move easily in their sockets. The lubricant-venom in the eyes and skin is not able to infect a human the way saliva-venom can.
Though there is no venom replacement that works precisely like blood, many of the functions of blood are carried on in some form.
Also, the nervous system runs in a slightly different but heightened way. Some involuntary reactions, like breathing, continue in that specific example because vampires use the scents in the air much more than we do, rather than out of a need for oxygen. The normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood.
Like with vampire skin—which looks similar to human skin and has the same basic function—fluids closely related to seminal fluids still exist in male vampires, which carry genetic information and are capable of bonding with a human ovum. She overcame the major obstacles in her path and fought her way to the place she wanted to be. Stories need conflict, and the conflicts that are Bella-centric are resolved. It makes me sad, of course, but I was expecting it.
The negative was more than I was braced for, but that was because the book sold a lot more copies than I expected. It was bigger than I thought it would be on both the positive and the negative sides. Because no book is a good book for everyone.

Its final book, Breaking Dawn , was split into two cinematic parts. Readers and viewers spent four books and five films waiting for the moment Bella Kristen Stewart would finally become a vampire so she could be with Edward forever.
Her transformation took place in a cliffhanger at the end of Breaking Dawn — Part 1. Renesmee Cullen was obviously not a normal child. As a half-mortal half-vampire being, Renesmee grew rapidly both physically and mentally, to the point where she was able to speak only seven days after she was born. The crew of Breaking Dawn knew they had to somehow show a baby that was already very mature even if physically it was just an infant.
Though a lot of the film took place in outer space, many of the sets were very real — like the dust storm that she and Matthew McConaughey weathered — unlike the green screens that were used during many scenes of Breaking Dawn.
When Mackenzie Foy turned 17 years old, she achieved something that many girls can only dream of: becoming a Disney princess. As if working on a Disney movie wasn't magical enough, Foy also got a Barbie doll created after her character.
Obviously, it looked a lot like her. Foy's character, however, wasn't like any other princess turned kids' toy. Foy was required to do all sorts of stunts and fight scenes while playing Clara. That's when her favorite pastime, taekwondo, truly came in handy. Do you want to kick somebody? For a few months, Foy even spent time training with stunt horses in order to perfect her most intense scenes, which was something that would also come in handy quickly hereafter.
Having experience riding horses really helped Mackenzie Foy out when it came to being cast in her second Disney movie, 's Black Beauty.
The studio seemed to have planned it all perfectly, too. To prep for production, she only had to train for two weeks. Foy was pretty familiar with the classic story, too, so she knew exactly what to do when filming began.
The horse who played Beauty wasn't the only beautiful thing about being in the movie. Shooting in South Africa was something completely new for Foy. What's next for Mackenzie Foy? Another screenplay full of fight scenes seems to be in her future. One franchise in particular has always caught her eye.
In , she got the opportunity to walk down the Thor: Ragnarok red carpet, which she described as "a fan girl's dream come true. Seeing as she's already a Disney star, and Disney owns Marvel, it's almost a no-brainer that becoming a superhero is in this young star's future. However, that's not necessarily what Foy has in mind. She'd love to play the villain instead. While Mackenzie Foy has been busy making it on the big screen, she's never given up on that dream to direct she's had ever since she was only a kid.
Don't get her wrong, though.
