Meyer has been crazy about writing since she was young. She got her first lesson in story-telling from grandfather, who gave her words of love. He set off her imagination and influenced her much. Meyer always had stories running her head and as soon as she could write, she put them down on paper.
Meyer remembered the call that changed her life. It was Tuesday, February 18th, when the rang in the kitchen of her Los Angeles home. On the line was Marty Banderas, a literary agent (代理) to whom she had sent a copy of her novel three weeks earlier. She asked Meyer some information, like age and health condition. Meyer felt and asked what that was about. Banderas only replied, "I've just sold your for one and a half million dollars!"
She sat down in shock. She had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been by publishers(出版商). Many people would have been discouraged (气馁的), not her. Each time, she just got down to writing another one. Her husband advised her to find something else to do, but she never . Seeing this book published was the most thing that has ever happened to her.
Now she is a of three children, but she has never stopped , turning out novels between kids and dishes. She is writing another novel now, and she expects another success. Yes, her belief (信仰) has brought her , and it has changed her life . Meyer is very confident that she will enjoy a more successful and meaningful life as long as she keeps on with her dream.
