In thinking about writing my mediocre vampire novel (MVN), I realize that it might be beneficial to watch the Twilight movie series. I have avoided it thus far, but there's something they're selling to the teenage girls that could be to my benefit to analyze.
That being said, I realize I stopped after season 2, episode 4 of my Buffy the Vampire Slayer recaps and commentary. Since this is a far superior vampire series, I'm wondering if my first focus should be on completing this set of entries. It would serve two purposes, getting me back into the habit of writing regularly and immersing myself yet again into the vampire lore. Plus, I get the added bonus of watching one of my favorite shows again.
My sister and I have been watching Lost Girl on Netflix and it has rekindled my interest in writing my MVN. Probably the most interesting thing about this show is seeing how the female characters are so different than other shows that are currently on stations like the WB/CW or whatever it's called now. It's so much closer to what Whedon was trying to achieve with Buffy than a lot of the television we've seen since. While this show may not have the best acting, or sometimes even the best writing, there is something so endearing (and refreshing) about the friendship between Bo and Kenzi that I really don't care.
My point, is that more research is needed to get me into the right head space to write the MVN.
