My Obsession and Literature

So some of you may know that I read about 50-60 books each year.  I have a wide array of interests in literature and I try to read as often as I can.  What you may not know about my love in literature is how much I love vampire fiction.  I realize that vampire fiction is almost "too girly" and overplayed.  I need you to understand why it means so much to me and why I think I will always love it.

In every vampire novel there is either a transition, a wish to have a transition, or a story told after a transition took place.  This transition is so much like what I will go through.  In Twilight, for instance, Bella really wants to become a vampire even knowing it will ruin all of her relationships with the humans she currently knows.  This tough decision will not be without pain.

Sound like anyone you know?  Take out vampire and replace it with girl and you have me.

Vampire fiction describes me to the very core.  I won't suck your blood...

That being said, I have even gone further into vampire fiction.  I have shared with some of you the book I have started to write.  The book is taking me forever.  I have six chapters currently written and it is still in a rough draft stage.  Nonetheless, it is a story of love and vampires that places the transition of someone into something else at the very core of the novel.  What will the main characters keep of their former selves to bring into this new life?

Let me know if you want to read it so far :)
