I also watch Psychic Kids - but mostly I enjoy it because the kids are psychic and there is a difference between just seeing ghosts and being able to communicate with them and some of them are empaths as well as healers.<br /><br />"Ghost Whisperer" is based on Sandra Brown's real life experiences. <br /><br />And who couldn't use some good research shows - like everyone says - think of the fodder you get for your own stories. I'm about to embark on some research for the Asian area (I have to narrow down my city to Bangkok, Beijing, or Shainghai - those are the three that are hitting my mind but I know nothing of any of the areas). This novel will not be a YA but hopefully I can gear it towards the upper YA group and above. Just have to see what comes from my research.<br /><br />Keep up with the research and don't let those new noises get to you too much - they are friendly if they haven't done anything yet.

I even watched Psychic Kids(loved this show as it showed how the whole family is affected if their child sees ghosts), PARANORMAL STATE, GHOST ADVENTURES(this one scared the crap out of me!), and even the Ghost Hunter shows(I didn't like these as I thought they were too cheesy).<br /><br />I also watched GHOST WHISPERER, MEDIUM, and JOAN OF ARCADIA.<br /><br />For my upcoming book NO GODDESSES I watched almost all of Audrey Hepburn movies. Plus I read the books, bios too.<br /><br />And for the sequel? I've been immersing self in everything French/Parisian.<br /><br />Yes, it's research.<br /><br />**Oh, when I got stuck in my sekrit project, I went on a Roswell TV series marathon. The slow building love between Max and Liz helped me be able to dig deeper into my main character's own relationship.Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-26921287047959069522012-03-15T23:28:14.729-04:002012-03-15T23:28:14.729-04:00I don't know that watching shows is wasted tim...I don't know that watching shows is wasted time.
