I love writing strong female characters, but I also think a
strong character deserves a good story. I know a lot of people think of Charmed
as the perfect example of this, but it isn’t. The characters may have been
strong, but the story was weak. It was a monster of the week format where
everything was tied up nicely in one or two episodes. There wasn’t any need to
keep watching. If you’ve seen one episode of Charmed than you’ve seen them all.
While this format may be fine for a standalone book or a movie, it doesn’t work
so well in a book series or tv show. Once I’ve seen one episode or read one
book there’s no reason to keep reading or watching. It may be great to have a
storyline that you can wrap up so quickly, but it won’t keep people reading.
