Where Waldo...err.... Stephenie??

From IFC, some interesting facts about Stephenie's "Twilight" cameo:

"Early reports suggested that Meyer's cameo would consist of the author ordering a vegetarian plate in a coffee shop scene (in her books, there are also vegetarian vampires) and that set off a "controversy" that no doubt lit up a thousand Tumblrs, but by the time it hit theaters, her screen time was reduced to a silent sit at a lunch counter. Too shy to go along with director Catherine Hardwicke's wish that she have a line, Meyer regrets doing it at all: "It was not my idea to do the cameo," she said in retrospect. "They talked me into it. They thought it would be, you know, cute for the fans because most of them would recognize me. I was thinking it was going to be more like a 'Where's Waldo?' thing. Like I walk by for one second in a crowd and if they can find me, cool. That's the one scene in the movie I would happily cut -- the first five seconds, and the one that I had to watch like, I mean like this [covering her eyes], 'Ah, is it over yet?' It was really hard for me."

Will she make an appearance in the second one? Maybe as a cliff-diver..hmm....
