Getting to stupid people, I'm not sure I would jump to that conclusion. I know lots of very smart people who are excellent writers and readers who loved the Twilight books, for example, and the writing proficiency there is mediocre. Meyer succeeded as a story teller, however.
I'm obligated any time someone criticizes Meyer to state:
Midnight Sun is one of the best books I've ever read, and it's a half-finished rough draft. Any author who wants to say that Meyer's writing isn't very good, please show me something that you wrote that engages me even half as well.
[/obligatory comment]
Note: The statement is not directed at Steerpike. He and I, to the best of my recollection, agree that Meyer is unfairly maligned.
