Breaking Dawn Status According to Stephenie

The below was in response to August 10th being an assumed release date.

"There is no official release date for Breaking Dawn, and for a very good reason: I haven’t finished it yet. Now that I’m (mostly) done with running around the world to promote Eclipse, I can settle in and work on BD. However, you never know how long it will take. I have roughly 1/3 – 1/4 left to write, and that could take a while.

Another thing–BD would not come out on a Sunday. Tuesday is usually the day things are released. Another point is that I wouldn’t do a live morning show on Sunday, and they’re going to want me to do that.

So don’t circle the tenth of August on your calendar or make a cool counter yet. I’ll let you know when there is an official date."

    That’s good to know! It’s just beginning for Stephenie. Give her a break!. I am looking forward to read BD so just be patient guys, Time will fly!. I believed it will be Bella’s perspective(just like all three books) and also not to mention about Midnight Sun as well. I am looking forward to read Edward’s perspective too and it will be more exciting than Twilight.(Don’t ya agree?) I want to know Edward and Alice’s conservation all the time(It’s unfair!!!)

    :0)

  2. I’m ready for breaking dawn to come out and im ready for the movie

  3. Kimberly says:

    well then i wish you good luck then!

  4. Cami1219 says:

    aw, well!
    Thank you for keeping us informed Stephenie!

    *off to uncircle BD release from calendar*

  5. rei says:

    it will be in bellas. right?

  6. J.B says:

    A lot of people think that BD is coming out in Jacobs persepective but…
    it’s actually the last book in Bella’s persepective. I know this because I read Stephanie’s website very throughly. (I am obssesed with the twilight series)

  7. Kaylee says:

    Well, I’ll be patience or at least I’ll try. Breaking Dawn will be worth the wait. But for now I guess I’ll have to reread the other three. I never get tired of them.

    (I’d say love Edward or Jacob but I’m torn between the two *sigh*)

  8. Kiria says:

    hey!back…you guys!come check out my site!you can join to!!!!so please check it out oh and man!…..it takes for ever for books to come out (well only good ones)

  9. Megster says:

    Gah! Can’t believe it. It’s so far away. But I’ll wait patiently…or maybe not. He he.

  10. Sigh, I made a counter a couple of months ago… Oh well, It’s on my Twilight page on my site!!!

  11. NATASHA:) says:

    NO!I despise Jacob! Don’t all of you see? He’s trying to break their RELATIONSHIP! That’s so evil of him! How could he? EDWARD LOVES BELLA! More thaan HIM! He’s SUCH A TROUBLEMAKER! ANd my dear Edward is so so sweet!He wasn’t angry at Bella for kissing Jake cus’ he wants what’s best for Bella! Oh dear.. It’s getting unhealthy for me too be so obsessed about him.

    -EDWARD CULLEN’S #1 FAN!

  12. nicole says:

    oh dang, i dont know y but i thought the release was this december. yeah i knew that was way too early. i think i read that somewhere, but i guess it was wrong.

  13. Caitlin says:

    Good! Im glad SM is going to take her time w/ Breaking Dawn! Actually i think she is too rushed! I want her to end the series the best she can!

  14. Iliana says:

    OMG!!!! I love your books I can’t waint to read Braking Dawn.
    I really what to see the twilight movie. I hope they pick good characters to play the roles.I so love Edward he so cool. Please I beg of you finish the book soon I cant wait any longer.

  15. mybrandofherion says:

    o dang i already marked it oh well i’ll live a day or two…..i hope

  16. VampireGirl says:

    Im afraid to see the movie cus’ it might (or hopefully might not) ruin the series for me…

    i mean…come on! NOone would be perfect enough to act as edward! or bella! or alice! jasper! emmett! rosalie! esme! carlisle! EDWARD! EDWARD! EDWARD!

    (torn between jacob & edward)

  17. cullen guy says:

    I cant beleive that its not released until a year from now I cant wait!!! Oh well LOL. My reasorses have reprted that the book will be narrated by Bella!!! YAY Im gona die if I cant find out what happens. Well I guese Ill have to wait like everyone els.

  18. cullen guy says:

    the movie is gona be so kool I wonder why they cant get any new info on it I mean how long does it take to note some progress.

    I wonder how their gona get the perfect people to play the roles of the characters. I mean its impossible to meat my standards for the roles.

    I agree with vampiregirl no one is gona be okay to play bella, alice,jasper,carlisle, or Edward

  19. Mrs Jenn Cullen says:

    I read all three books one after the other…. THANK YOU SM FOR WRITTING THESE THREE AMAZING BOOKS!!!!!!!!!! I CAN’T WAIL FOR BREAKING DAWN AND MIDNIGHT SUN…….I do wish that the fourth book would start a week before the wedding or the day before or the nuptial day…….I am so excited…… I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN, MUAH……..

  20. Mrs Jenn Cullen says:

    i do wish that you sm could release the fourth book as soon as possible…i am going to die if i don’t find out what happens next after edward puts the ring back on bella forever now…..I would wish to know how did her parents re-acted towards the engagement and the wedding in aug 13th…..

  21. amanda says:

    hi

  22. Brooke says:

    I noticed some one said somthing about it being in Jacobs perspective. If it was I would be mad and probably not read it due to his hatred of Edward.

  23. Kayla says:

    Hey Meyer, I have fallen head over heals for your writings. I enjoy your writings. I was amazed at the way you wrote the first 3 books. I cant tell you how much your books helped me. Just to get away from my family. I cant wait till your 4th book. You are my role model. in more ways then i can say. I have relized i have never read an author who has such heart and description into your writings. I love reading its my life. i take it as if i were to have one thing and one thing only it would be a book. and reading your books has opened my mind so much. Please keep writing you have my brain thursting for more. Cant wait till the 4th book. And so i was wondering if you do have a movie it could not be as good as the book, but i would love to see others perspective on your writings. And a quick question, from what i read Breaking dawn is the last book in bella’s perpective so does that mean your going to write the sotry in Ex Jacobs, and Or Edwards perspective. I would like that :) keep up the writing

  24. Alice says:

    oh man! I already marked off my calendar….and my friends…. this isn’t good. patience isn’t one of my best qualities… oh well. i still have to wait to see about open auditions for the movies so i guess i can wait for Breaking Dawn….
    *pouts*:’(

  25. kiesha says:

    i cant wait for the fourth book to come put but i know whaat its like to be an author my dads one so i know it takes at least a year for a book to come out even if it is published well thanks for working so hard.

  26. kiesha says:

    hi sorry for my last reply it was kinda weird so do you think there will be another one after breaking dawn and midnight sun? if not i guess i could re read the series or watch the movie when it comes out.

  27. Brandon says:

    So if Bella becomes a vampire what will her power be?

  28. Regina says:

    I had never even heard of Twilight until about 2 weeks ago. Now I just finished the series and I’m in withdrawal! i can’t wait for the release of Breaking Dawn. I can’t wait to see how Bella’s character will change as she becomes a vampire. My personal theory: As a human, Bella’s mind is strong enough to keep out even very powerful vampires. How much stronger will she be as a vampire herself? She still may not be able to tolerate the smell of blood even to quench her own thirst, but perhaps her mind could tell her its something else. Tomato soup maybe? Perhaps to the point of creating an illusion. Perhaps she could even influence the minds of others to see illusions as well. That would make her extremely powerful. The Volturi would even feel threatened and that would create all sorts of story ideas…..

  29. VampireGirl says:

    Bella’s power would have to do with her mind. (‘cus she’s protected by it right?)

    Does that mean she’ll have a combination of mad vamp skills?
    SWEET!

  30. Nicky says:

    The Twilight books are the BEST books in the world. Edward is HOTT!! I would LUV to have either an Edward or a Jacob (but mainly Edward) in in my life!!!! I absolutly cant wait until Breaking Dawn comes out!!!!!!!!!

    I agree it should totally come out on the wedding day.

  31. Emzie says:

    The Twilight series is the best set of books anyone could ask for, I finished Twilight 6 times in two days because I loved it so much. When Breaking Dawn comes out, I’ll start screaming…

    And I agree that it should also come out on the wedding day, that would be really cool.

    And I hope that Midnigh sun comes out soon too, and then maybe it’ll be the whole series in Edwards version…

  32. auryanna mykail holmes says:

    man i have so many questions??? ok, i LOVE ur books but the only way i can read them is borrowing from friends and the library!!! it’s murder!! please send me ur complete works!! PLEASES!!!!!!!!?????????????

  33. marie says:

    hey. umm i didnt know it was possible to have a “crush” on a person in a book. but omg. edward.. is to die for. literely.

    ah and just to think hes not real..

  34. Peggy says:

    I know that everybody will think that Bella are going to be a vampire and that she will marry Edward, but i think that something are going to go wrong. I mean, Bella don´t want to get married, she is doing it because Edward and Alice should be happy! And i love Edward Cullen so much, and hate Jacob back, but its so selfish of Bella to kiss him! I think that in breaking dawn, she will run to Jacob and kiss him again.

    HATE JACOB BLACK!!!

  35. Caroline says:

    Hey Everyone! Wow! I am completely obsessed with all these books! I LOVE EDWARD! I LOVE EDWARD! I LOVE EDWARD!
    But i have a major question: is Breaking Dawn the last book besides midnight sun? I hope so! I can’t stand the suspence! I LOVE EDWARD!

  36. Caroline says:

    Well, I think Stephenie should take her time on Breaking Dawn. I am anxious to read it, but the longer it takes to write the better it will be! YIP-EEE! GO EDWARD!

  37. lex says:

    dude that would be so rad if it was released on the 13th because thats there weding date and thats my birthday! woop but ya that would be soo cool i love the twilight books im a huge fan i hope there will be alot of books in the series!

  38. VampireGirl says:

    I want MY birthday to be on the wedding date!!!! *whines* Mine’s in a few days….(11/1)

    Peggy— how can u hate jake? he’s still learning…give him a break…

    (P.S–it WAS selfish of HIM to kiss BELLA, not the other way around…..ok……never mind….both of them were a bit selfish)

    EDWARD 4 EVER!!!!! (literally…) *giggles*

  39. daniela says:

    come on!!! I can’t wait untill breaking dawn.
    other thing, I think Henry Cavill is just perfect to play James. I mean he has an evil face if yu would look at him for a while, and he is not really that cute! I think Jackson Rathbone can make it there, even though he needs a little more of muscle to play Edward. after all I think he’s perffect, but I need to see his face mad or something to make my last deccision, but he’s cute!! =)

  40. Amber says:

    hey
    is there any way that ypu can try out for a part for the movie? I LOVE your books and instead of siting back and watching the movie id like to be appart of it. please get back too i will love that a bunch

    sincerly,
    amber

  41. schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen says:

    grr….. I CAN TWAIT THAT LONG , i have to find out if jacob black is gonna be okay, JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

  42. schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen says:

    grr….. I CAN TWAIT THAT LONG , i have to find out if jacob black is gonna be okay, JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen says:

    why doe everyone hate jacob soo much?
    i lovvvvveeeee jacob black
    not like i hate edward…
    its just that edward is some perfect vampire who is way to perfect to ever exist, even though everyones alll “omg, edward like sooooo perfect”, hes had like three hundred or more years to become all patient and what not, imagine going out with some 300 year old fool, not exactly a pretty picture, and jacob acted like all normal humans would act, jacob is much more rea to me than edward, a perfect vampire cannot exist in a rational world, but there are jacos everywhere in the world, so you fools can be obsessed with edward, but JACOB BLACK FOREVER

  44. schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen says:

    the world needs more JACOB BLACK supporters,
    COME ON

  45. missyrae says:

    OMG! i CANNOT wait for breaking dawn! i am so frigging anxious to see who will narrate this time. hopefully if it’s not bella then please let it be edward! i have nothing against jacob; it’s just that edward is less “forceful” with bella. jacob needs to be a frigging “best friend” and suck it up! their getting married dude! life WILL GO ON! but still, i do feel bad for him; BUT EDWARD IS SO MUCH FRIGGING HOTTER! YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW! well he seems hotter? haha LMAO. im sorry i say frigging too much am i right? well yes people no one can wait for breaking dawn so get over it and be patient! think of it this way: at least she’s writing another book.

  46. missyrae says:

    ok this is a response to: “schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen”

    yes there are jacob black supporters out there so dont worry. im definitely in love with edward but i like jacob too! he is DEFINITELY more realistic! BUT come on! edward is real: sort of. well his personality is. that’s what makes him so unique. but people love him probably because there is WAY TOO MUCH info about him. what about jacob? i think that if mrs. meyer wrote more about him, that people would go more in favor of jacob, and maybe even support him more! but eh… i still LOVE LOVE LOVE edward and im behind that hott “blood-sucking” sensitivo :D DD

  47. schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen says:

    haha, i agree that edward is pretty friggin hot, but i prefer the tan guys to the sparkly white ones… love you edward, but i LOVE JACOB MORE

  48. Lopsided says:

    I love this series. My friend got me into it, and i didn’t start them until all three were out, and i read them all just like that, now i have NO CLUE what to do while i wait. its been two months and i still can’t stop thinking that i can just go up to my friend and ask to borrow the next book. my parents are so pissed at me because i bought them even though i’d already read them, my dad just can’t read a book twice, where here i am reading them day and night, plotting out what is going to happen. Bella and Edward get married, bella becomes a vampire, jacob goes isane (YAY!- I completely HATE jacob black. he should go die in the firiest pit of down under) and then bella has a hard time adjusting. stays in “alaska AKA the Cullens house, she and Rosalie become closer… Edward brings her stuff to much on- or suck on i should say, the volturi come, BUT WAIT theres a twist. she slips and the vulturi want to do to her what they did to Bree at the end of Eclipse, which would be kinda possibe, because with Bella, anything can happen. But Edward won’t let that happen, just because he is so increadably Edwardish. lol. and bella will have the power to erase memories, OOO or bring back the dead! so it will be like it never happened. can you tell i’ve spent a lot of time thinking of this. lol. I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they should make a movei. you know the picture of Bella and Edward at the beginning of the web site, i think that bella will be prettier, and edward will be less dark. BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW AWSOME HE IS??? hes understanding, kind, respectful, protective, not to mention he has a ton of money. lol. jk jk. even with out his money, he is just so irrisistable!!!!!! isn’t he awsome!!!!!!!!?????????? any way, im writing alot so now im gonna stop. GO STEPHANIE MAYER!!!!!! YOUR MY IDOL!!! not really but you write the best books ever! i think that these books are actualy 100% better than Harry Potter. no joke there!

  49. lopsided says:

    to: schmittywerbenyeagermanjensen: ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING???? I HATE JACOB. HES A MANIPULATIVE JERK WHO NEEDS TO LEARN BOUNDRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  50. Jessica says:

    I just want to let you know i am totally obsessed with this series of books i have never been into reading i can honestly say i have never read a real book in my life but my friend brought this to me and i was skeptical but i saud what the heck and then it happened i was more into the book then i could ever thought possible my life became consumed by edward and bella i read all three books in 4 days and i already started on the first again i have read the 1st chapter from edwards point of view and all the outtakes i am sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation i cant wait until the release of the 4th book.
