In a matter of three months she had transformed her dream into a complete novel, though she claims that she never intended to publish Twilight and was writing for her own enjoyment. Based on this dream, Meyer wrote the draft of what is now Chapter 13 of the book. The dream was about a human girl, and a vampire who was in love with her but thirsted for her blood. Meyer says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream on June 2, 2003. Meyer currently lives in Cave Creek, Arizona, and also owns a home on Marrowstone Island, Washington. Meyer had never written even a short story before Twilight, and had considered going to law school because she felt she had no chance of becoming a writer she later noted that the birth of her oldest son Gabe changed her mind, saying, 'Once I had Gabe, I just wanted to be his mom.' Before becoming an author, Meyer's only professional work was as a receptionist in a property company. Meyer is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has stated that she is 'straitlaced' about her beliefs, and does not drink alcohol or smoke. Christian Meyer, formerly an auditor, has now retired to take care of the children. Together they have three sons: Gabe, Seth, and Eli.
