Hey. Hey! You! I AM TALKING TO YOU.
Yes, that's right-- you! You are all responsible for this. The insane up all night can't sleep can't work can't think obsession of the last week.
GUYS, The Vampire Diaries is AMAZING. I totally went on a TV bender. I started the series Tuesday and finished today--- 3 season- you do the math (it makes me nauseous to do it myself). A lot of TV. Too much TV. And yet, and yet---
Let me start off by saying I am (obvs) I huge Kevin Williamson fan. Dawson's Creek basically WAS my childhood. But for whatever reason (work. pride) I hadn't seen one single episode of The Vampire Diaries until last week. But you all changed that. You all with your tweets and "Team Damon!" and "best show on television!"and I was all nuh uh. I saw Twilight, okay? I DO NOT CARE ABOUT TEENAGE VAMPIRES. Now please leave me alone so I can write about some. *That was a joke. Everyone calm down.
But then I watched and...hold on. Can we take a moment to discuss how perfect Nina Dobrev's hair is? Like what is she using on that? Can someone tweet her?
Honestly, the show is a lesson in plotting because WTF OMG HOW DID THEY DO THAT???? IT IS A REAL LOVE TRIANGLE. Like freals, no bs, I switched teams, and now I am lost, and I'm going to need a little time to process what just happened because I think someone compelled me-- get it?
Best line of the series: "I don't want to be a vampire!"
Bella, are you out there? Can you hear us?
ANNOUNCEMENT: I know you all luvvvvv Pretty Little Liars. And Revenge. And True Blood (please please please just STOP), but that is my TV limit for the summer. I have had my fill, and now I must diet. No carbs, people. It's time to get serious.
Because you all want me to write another book...right?
Thanks for the vacation. It was a lot of fun.
XOXO,

The truth is I never know when an idea will pop into my head. Welcome to my life as a novelist.

Let's build a world. Explore what we believe by writing. In many ways my characters’ experiences with fate, destiny and free-will mirror my own. What is up to us and what isn’t? It’s one of the great questions of the human experience, I think. But no matter what is for us to control, we must own the identity. You’re a writer if you write. Period. Writing is a lovely way to spend one’s time. Enjoy it. And I hope you enjoy my writing here.

Wow, that is truly a lot of TV! I can't even begin to imagine how you managed to squeeze in sleeping and eating with a total of 60, 65 episodes in a week. That's like- wow!
ReplyDeleteNow I am miss TVD. =(
And I love how you ended the blog post with XOXO, Gossip Girl! =D
I'm so glad you're enjoying TVD and what a marathon! I'm Team Stefan, always and forever!
ReplyDeleteyes, please write another book, WYWM was excellent :)
Mands xox
You had me crack up with your sign off.
ReplyDeleteI also had my VD binge week when school let out in May. I had always made fun of my friend for liking it so much cause yeah, vampires. But then I gave episode one a shot and I was sucked in.
I never changed teams though. I don't like Damon's character at all in terms of him being "swoon-worthy." In terms of being a really cool character though, he is awesome! How Elana could like him when all the shit he's done to her and Jeremy, I wouldn't understand.
Also, how kick-butt is Caroline?! :) I'd totally fangirl over her sooner than the guys. She went from being super annoying to being super awesome!
Yes I do want you to write another book! PS I told you so.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Caroline! And you guys were right: it's complicated! I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out...
ReplyDeleteI STILL haven't seen Vampire Diaries. Is it really, really that good?
ReplyDeleteAlso get on Book 2, woman. I talk up your book so much in bookstores, I think the booksellers think that I take away their jobs. LOL!
I LOVE Caroline. And don't worry....I'm back at work, now!
ReplyDeleteVampire Diaries is awesome! I'm Team Damon one episode then Team Stefan the next! (p.s: I love Nina Dobrev's hair too!)
