Melissa Interview

IESB has an interview with Melissa Rosenberg.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
IESB: How advantageous was it for you to have Stephenie Meyer there to get her input on things that might not have been in the book?
Melissa: It was unbelievably advantageous. What a resource. She’s been living with these characters and this mythology a lot longer than I have, and she’s thought about it in much greater detail. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I could go to the original inventor and say, “What are the backstories?” And, even if I don’t use that specific idea, it gives me another idea. She’s been a great resource, not only in terms of the backstories and the mythology, but also as a sounding board. Having another writer to bounce around ideas with is really invaluable.
