What I Learned About Writing from Watching TV aka
Justifying my TV Habit.
Veronica Mars has to be V. Has to be. Especially due to the recent exciting news about a movie.
Ah Veronica Mars One of the best YA shows of recent times.
I could praise the superb setting in Neptune. The strong ballsy heroine.
The fact she has a male best friend and it never turns romantic.
What I do think is strong is the overall mystery, especially in season
one. She is trying to solve her best friends murder. Not some girl in school
who she’s never met. Her best friend. It’s personal to Veronica. The aim of the
main character should be personal to them, and it’s easy to forget that in
writing. To have them solve a mystery just because.
Ah who am I kidding? Veronica Mars is just all round GREAT. Watch it, if you haven't already. You won't regret it.

Could have gone for VAMPIRE DIARIES. Special mention to Damon Salvatore.

I love Veronica Mars! I think you've hit the nail on the head why the first season was so good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I'd ever heard of it. I would say I'm not much into YA, but that's not necessarily true. Does watching old Brady Bunch episodes count as YA? Writer’s Mark
