I am screaming like a Banshee here, but I can't help it -- I am so excited right now! My little (obsessive) book review of TWILIGHT published in the online version of The News Today (TNT) has been special-mentioned in a couple of web and fan sites. Can you believe that?
I don't know how this happened, but there must have been a glitch somewhere, some online blackhole must have sucked my review and vomited it right in front of some web writers while they were mulling over what to include in their web/blog posts for the day. And kazoom, they've included my name as the writer with a link back to my TNT article. Wow, how in the world did these people find my review? Do you know how many Twilight reviews are out there in the www right now? I tried typing "Twilight reviews" in Google and guess what, there are 13,700,000 results! So tell me how did these websites find my article? By some miracle I guess...
I've been feeling so out of it these past few days, and this little bit of sunshine has lifted my flagging spirits, put a smile on my sad face, and brought some humor back to my humorless sub-life. Being a writer can often be unrewarding, but rare moments like this make me grateful. It's just fulfilling not to be trivialized, to know that somewhere, someone out there is reading what you have written, spending precious minutes savoring the very words you have composed, and finding meaning in them -- and yes, enough meaning to quote you, appreciate you, and share you with the rest of the world.
Thank you to these websites for posting my Twilight review. You made my day, week, month -- hell -- year!
Twilight-movie.org - It's flattering to be included in this site's Breaking Dawn Reviews, News and Disappointment section along with reviews from Time Magazine, Teen Hollywood, Chicago Sun Tribune, Publisher's Weekly, and other websites.
Twilightnews.co.uk - which quoted the last paragraph of my review (part 2) and linked it to another major twilight fansite, BellaAndEdward.com, a top (#2) Twilight fansite which also has a link of my Part 2 review in TNT.
And lastly, TwilightSeriesTheories.com - for liking and quoting the last paragraph of my "Twilight Zone" part 1 review and for putting the link to my TNT article.
Wow, my obsession for the Twilight Saga has brought me a lot of good and a lot of happiness... the truth is, I loved the Twilight books (isn't it glaringly obvious?) and I guess that love translated to my writing the review.
So again, here are the links to my reviews, I'm sharing it with you:
Happy Reading!
