Thanks for sharing how you see that show you loved working its way into your writing today!Nichole Christoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799006710672537142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-52521004531775815692014-03-18T21:49:42.828-04:002014-03-18T21:49:42.828-04:00Candy,
I'm glad you enjoyed my post!
I was S...Candy,<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed my post!<br /><br />I was Scooby devotee, too. No wonder mystery is a major component of my writing as well. Oddly, I always found Fantasy Island unsettling as a kid. Maybe because I always fell asleep before the resolution. But maybe that's also why Paranormal isn't a driver in my work. Hmmm!<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in!Nichole Christoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799006710672537142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-73596070517934501522014-03-18T17:28:04.653-04:002014-03-18T17:28:04.653-04:00You know, I watched all those shows, and the ones ...You know, I watched all those shows, and the ones Mac mentioned too - and they all live on in my pop-culture frame of reference. But the show that my brother and I used to "play" was Hogan's Heroes. Humor plus an underground resistance giving the bird to the (literally) worst kinds of systemic, entrenched racial bias on the planet? Huh. I kind of see both the humor and the fight to retain/claim the essential humanity of us all in my work, using werewolves as the stand in for the marginalized. Interesting food for thought!<br /><br />I admit we used to play "Donny and Marie" too. *hangs head in chagrin* *then winks* It was a blast.

The remix of Mister Rogers' Garden of Your Mind was fun.<br /><br />I think some of the typical kid classics shaped me ... Scooby Doo, Nancy Drew, Romper Room, Tom & Jerry and the Jetsons. But there were others, too, in my teen years that formed me. Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Charlie's Angels were big ones. Not to mention the Bionic Man and the Bionic Woman. Oh, and McGyver and Magnum P.I. Sigh. Loved them all. But I think they all inform my stories these days, too. I often create bands of close-knit communities of people who work together to puzzle something out, plus, there's always a healthy dose of fantasy and love involved, as well as hunky heroes and sexy heroines.<br /><br />Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It's funny how much we forget of our past that shapes us into the adults, and the writers, we are today. Fun to think about! ;0)Mackenzie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00508204115833993481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-83292351181043375252014-03-16T21:52:58.435-04:002014-03-16T21:52:58.435-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mackenzie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00508204115833993481noreply@blogger.com
