Talk:Bella Swan/@comment-94.191.191.141-20140227140531/@comment-7600752-20140301040301

Yes! That's EXACTLY what's going on. Meyer says she got the idea from a dream. A dream of a girl and a beautiful shiny boy. Of course the girl in the dream was Meyer. Who else could it have been? So Meyer wrote a story about this near perfect girl named Bella...and Meyer imagines herself as Bella when she writes. Even the name "Bella Swan" means "Beautiful Swan." Edward Cullen is just a representation of Meyer's perfect man. Meyer's husband has claimed that his wife based Edward on him. But Meyer says that she based nothing about Edward from her husband. She even teasingly said that if Edward ever came knocking on her door...that she'd be out of there in a flash.
