Does that count???<BR/><BR/>And as I said before, but it bears saying again, where is the guy who plays Sawyer on LOST? :)Amanda McCabe/Amanda Carmack/Laurel McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575437197334661544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1125087776141682112005-08-26T13:22:00.000-07:002005-08-26T13:22:00.000-07:00Just pop on over to kelliblogs.blogspot.com and yo...Just pop on over to kelliblogs.blogspot.com and you will see pictures and comments on why I find them sexy, as well as my diatribe on the TV Land countdown that started it all (so full of dumb jocks and wimps!).<BR/><BR/>I was trying to figure out how to get Orlando on the list - he DID guest host Saturday Night Live - but I remained vigilant and stuck with TV stars. It was still hard to not go over 10 (and I included 1 tie - so I really have 11).Kelli McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754245995218930400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1125075152491522182005-08-26T09:52:00.000-07:002005-08-26T09:52:00.000-07:00Exactly!

It shows me why I like a certain author and not another, or one character type or not another. I just wish I had been able to attend the actual workshop!<BR/><BR/>And do tell about the TV hunks. :)Amanda McCabe/Amanda Carmack/Laurel McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575437197334661544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1125073433330234392005-08-26T09:23:00.000-07:002005-08-26T09:23:00.000-07:00This is fascinating!

I know I read some authors over and over again, even when their books are repetitive, because I like the story and conflict they usually write about. I now know that it's the brand that I'm responding to.<BR/><BR/>I just did my countdown of TV hunks, and one thing I did notice was how similar all of these characters were. That's the brand of hero that appeals to me.Kelli McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754245995218930400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13029687.post-1125014856231480342005-08-25T17:07:00.000-07:002005-08-25T17:07:00.000-07:00Amanda:I was thinking about this also, especially ...Amanda:<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about this also, especially since I am changing genres. I figured out what my underlying themes were, and am going to do just what you say: talk about the theme, not the specifics. I will follow certain authors anywhere they go (genre-wise, I mean), and that's because their themes resonate with me. So branding is good.Megan Framptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196738392230684978noreply@blogger.com
