What would you like to be known for?

This is a cross-post

As in writing!

This is a question I am asking myself lately.

Now I know most of the authors here if not all write Romance and Erotica. But as we know there is aways that one book in us that we want to write, that we feel that we have to write.

OR...

Maybe it's a genre that we want to change to.

Do you really want to write Westerns? Do you want to be the next Stephen King and write Horror? Do you want to make other children happy and write about cute ducks and bears? Or Teenage books that help them with life lessons?

Or better yet. Instead of fiction you want to write something that deals in history or a social commentary.

Or are you already writing what you want to write. Romance and Erotica is in your blood and the only way they can get it out is through a transfusion.

It's okay if you want to write something else that you are not known for, by the way. It doesn't mean you've turn your back on your first passion. Sometimes it just means you've grown a bit more.

Reality Shows and a Trivia Question

Okay, I’m sitting down talking with my hubby, channel surfing. You know not really paying attention to what’s on the screen really and lo and behold this new reality show is being advertised.

You would not believe what the show was about. Jockeys. Yes, you saw right - jockeys. Those vertically challenged people that ride horses around a track!

HUH?

Okay, come on is television that hard up for entertainment. Now I admit I’m a nerd. Got a masters in history, lived in Italy, traveled around the world. I sing opera. And I will admit to watching the History channel and all those “Expand Your Mind” channels. I have over 2500 books mostly history in my personal library. But I have guilty pleasures too.

Court shows! Not Court TV. Although if an interesting trial is on I’ll watch, but no, court shows, Judge Alex, (hubba hubba) Judge Karen, People’s Court, you know them. I also love to watch the shows that talk about the UFO’s. Those are funny. Always hilarious watching a farmer with three teeth in his head: “I saw this here disk just a flotin’ in the air and me and my wife…” Yeah, I’m on the floor.

So I am not a television snob.

But Jockeys! Come on now. And the funny thing is I have horses. This is still crazy!

But this made me think of ALLLL the crazy reality shows they have out there and I think they are running out of ideas.

What’s next?

Mailmen. The true story of the men and women that deliver your mail!

Maids. What really goes on when you’re at work and they’re cleaning your house.

Cable repair People. Yeah, they really are watching what you watch!

So this also brings me to this trivia question.

What was the very FIRST reality show that got this stuff started?

Oh, and feel free to list your guilty pleasures

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

*SMOOTCHES*

What do you have planned with a loved one. And hey, even if you don't have that special someone now, how are you treating yourself today? Shopping (my personal favorite), a day at the spa, museum ti get some culture, treating yourself to a nice lunch?

Hubby is waiting on me hand and foot today. I think I'm even going to have him type for me as I dictate scenes in my other stories I'm working on.

I have a surprise for him to. I got his care detailed. Hehehe. He thinks it needed a tune-up and I sent it out.

Thanking all my New Friends

Just want to take this time to thank you for the invites and accepting my invitation for friendship. I am trying to make my rounds to every ones sites. They are all so pretty and creative.

If you noticed yesterday I had some issues. LOL. Trying to figure Multiply out. I think I have it now, but we'll see. So if you see multiple posts from me...HEY! That's why it's called Multiply! Because you're so busy posting so many things trying to see if it takes in the area you want! And you end up with multiple posts!

Well ain't that a...!
