Stephenie Meyer

            Stephenie Meyer is the author of the hit “Twilight” series. There are many people that love her for who she is and what she does, but at the same time, she almost lives in infamy. Many people despise her for authoring the Twilight books.

            Stephenie Meyer has a personal blog on the website www.stepheniemeyer.com. She writes new posts every once in a while, and there are a lot of interviews that have been conducted with her. She does a good job constructing her online persona through her blog posts. There is also a lot of insight given by the posts she has made with transcripts of her interviews with people online.

            Much of her blog is actually written by her little brother Seth. I won’t be looking at that, obviously, because it isn’t her or her opinions. Many of her posts are directly related to her work. She likes to talk about herself a lot, which I suppose is normal for a blog. What I find to be interesting is her relation to her business and personal life. She talks about filming and her new books and projects and then goes into talking about some strange and close relationship she has with this girl.

            I am not sure that Stephenie Meyer actually contributes to literary culture today through her blog. “Literary culture” is just defined as the culture created by modern or classic literature. Stephenie Meyer definitely contributes to the culture through her books and the movies made from her books, but she definitely doesn’t contribute through her blog. Her blog is very sparse and contains almost nothing of value to society in terms of literary culture. All she talks about is work; she doesn’t talk about how her work should contribute to society. She doesn’t propose any progressive ideas through her blog. It is very bland and worthless in this way.

            Stephenie Meyer does, however, create a profile for herself by blogging online. She lets her readers know that she really does care about her work by talking about it all the time. This can be very important. Without her blog, maybe her readers would picture her as uninterested in them and her work. With the blog it lets the readers know she really cares about her work and what she does.

            Right now, personally, I would say that my favorite author is Suzanne Collins. I think the work she did with “The Hunger Games” was phenomenal. I think it was a very powerful book that carried many messages. It spoke to people with different views in very different and powerful ways. I do not follow her or her blog. I could not find anything about her. Also, I am not sure I want to follow her blog. I sort of have a personal picture of her and who she should be. If her blog reveals that she is someone who I thought she wasn’t, I may approach her work with certain predispositions I didn’t have before I checked out her blog.
