Midnight Sun – chapters leaked

More leaking? Seriously?

Ok so yes, more chapters of Stephenie Meyer books have been leaked on to the net (again). Man this woman must be a publisher’s worst nightmare. The purpose of having a book deal with a publisher is so that they can make money from publishing the books, and likewise the author, I would have thought, but Ms Meyer seems to lose control of her content a trifle easily IMHO and surely must by now be being severely reprimanded by her publisher. This is an even worse disaster than the “early sale” and consequent scanning/distributing of that book she wrote to wind up the Twilight story. Yes I know the name of the book but I really can’t bear to type its name again *shudder*

Frankly when I saw the first few lines on the internet (who didnt let’s face it?) that was enough to put me off reading the blasted thing right then. At least she owns up to bad writing in this blog post:

I’d rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes

Erm… ok, yes incomplete draft, that must be it. Well enjoy Twilighters, as she has made the draft available on her site (as of August 28) for all and sundry. Perhaps it will inspired would-be authors when they see what a first draft looks like from such a well known author as Stephenie Meyer. Personally I can’t be bothered reading any more of this tosh at the moment.
