The Bandwagon: A Theory

A Theory

Last night the dh and I watched an original Battlestar Galactica episode on Hulu. I didn't remember the particular episode, but I did remember my mad crush on Apollo and the love story between him and Serena, the reporter who died and left him to care for her son.

And I sort of remember writing a story about them.

Okay, first of all, I kind of horde things. I mean, you should see my DVD collection--it's huge. I get the DVDs of shows and movies so I can watch them any time I want. When we got a VCR when I was in HS, I recorded tons of shows to keep, and did the same thing when I was married.

But we didn't have VCRs when I was a kid, and the only way I had to capture the feelings certain shows gave me was to write about them, or at least write a story with those characters. That way I could revisit that story again and again, in my head and on the page.

So that's my theory about why I started writing. What do you think?

The Mad Mad Mad Beneath the Surface blog tour has begun. I was at Wet Noodle Posse yesterday, Supernatural Sisters and The Samhellion today.
