Famous Last Words: Gossip Girl and Blogging

I’m a couple years late, but I just started watching Gossip Girl this weekend, and I am absolutely intrigued by the storyline. This show has actually inspired me to incorporate some of the scandals into my stories that I plan to write for this class. I’m a little sad about just now starting Gossip Girl, and wanting to use it into my stories, but better late than never right? I feel like I can use so many specific scenes from the show into my writing.

My favorite characters are Vanessa and Nate—so far. I am also very interested in Chuck and Blair’s relationship, and watching how the writer develops their character as the seasons go on. I’m only on season two. Haha. I had no idea this popular tv show was actually a book! I think I might have to read it because the show itself is so interesting, I can’t imagine what the book is like. I’m a firm believer on books being better than the films.

Another concept I would like to utilize in my stories inspired from this show is the idea of social media. This show is a prime example of what social media can do to someone, and how one post can become very ugly. Those of you that have seen the show know exactly what I’m talking about. I would like to incorporate how social media in today’s world has such huge influence on lives into my upcoming stories. As mentioned before, Blair and Chuck are interesting characters. I feel like they would be perfect characters to add into a story of love. There are so many options for my own writing with being inspired by this show. I am super excited to see what I come up with, and seeing my stories come to life! Wish me luck!

  1. Hi there! Okay, I know exactly what you mean when you say you are late to the game with Gossip Girl. I watched it like two summers ago, going into my junior year of college, and I felt like I was emerging out from under a rock or something haha. Better late than never though! I am intrigued to see how you are going to incorporate it into your writing, get to gossiping!
