I need the personal.
CS...I'm stakes girl too. I need the personal. <br /><br />CSI, NCIS, L&O - none of them have worked for me. <br /><br />Give me Castle, Bones - where the people are "growing" over the course of years.<br /><br />Except for in the case of Bones where they blow out by trying to string the audience along for another season... nahhh I'm not bitter.Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-49561294243722711872011-05-18T11:54:48.568-04:002011-05-18T11:54:48.568-04:00See I love the procedurals. Law & Order reruns...See I love the procedurals. Law & Order reruns are totally my comfort watch. <br /><br />Sometimes I get tired of too much in the personal stakes area. It starts to feel melodramatic. Maybe it's my age again. I just want everyone to simmer down and do their jobs.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-52169837102853991872011-05-18T09:08:22.820-04:002011-05-18T09:08:22.820-04:00ohhhh - the book sounds amazing! I'm with you ...ohhhh - the book sounds amazing! I'm with you 100% on the stakes thing it's often why i don't watch crime shows either - I'm just not a proceduralist in my heart. But that said - Steph's manuscript about the mystery solving duo on Victorian england - it worked for me because the stakes were so high. <br /><br />I can't wait to read Dust City- once again YA is the most fun right now. Most fun.Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.com
