Author's Note

A/N: Wow, you all probably hate me by now, don't you? I've basically dropped off the face of the earth. All I can say is…Life is insane. I'm in college now, and am going on break for a few weeks, so I'll have time to finish the story if you still want it to continue. I want to take it in a slightly different direction and pretty much rewrite Breaking Dawn because, frankly, I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong—it was great to see everyone's stories wrapped up—but I felt things could have been better -handled, and that the series could have ended differently. For one thing, I love Renesme but I think her name needs to be changed. I actually like the name 'Carlie' for her because I think it retains the spirit of what Stephenie Meyer wanted to do, but still retains enough normalcy (If anything in the Twilight universe is normal) to allow her character to be approachable; to me, at least, the name 'Renesme', coupled with her powers, beauty, etc. makes her a bit too idealized. She doesn't seem like a real person, but what's known as a 'Mary-Sue' or perfect character. For now, I will refer to her as Carlie. If you violently detest this, TELL ME, either through review or pm, and if common consensus holds that her name should be changed, then she'll go back to being Renesme and I'll fix the previous chapters to reflect that. Also: should she be Bella and Edward's child, or the girl Jacob encounters? I haven't written that chapter, yet, and can't decide which direction to take. I see pros and cons to each scenario, so let me know what you think! I'll post a chapter 90 minutes after this goes up; please share your opinion. Merci beaucoup!
