I sometimes will refer to mannerisms that actors use to enhance my characters but I don't usually base any one character on someone real or in movies, tv etc.<br />Nancy<br /><a href="http://nrwilliams.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">N.

I love, love, love this show. I like that they aren't afraid to portray a darker edge. I enjoy how they've turned a villian (Damon) into an anti-hero who has moments so sweet he makes you melt, then he turns around and rips a werewolf's heart out.<br /><br />Kevin Williamson has had my devotion since Dawson Creek. I expect nothing less than the best from him!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726858055689145824noreply@blogger.com
