Welcome to Open Book Blog Hop. You can find us every Monday talking about the writing life. I hope you'll check out all the posts: you'll find the links at the bottom of this post.
What would you rather have: money or fame?

Um. Money. That's not even a hard question for me. There's a lot I might accomplish given money, especially in copious amounts. Selfish things like taking time for travel and becoming a full time writer (no day job!). More generous things like paying off debts for people I love and Philanthropic things like giving scholarships and grants, supporting charities, endowing things, etc.
Fame looks to me like it comes with more trouble than delight. I don't need that kind of attention. I wouldn't know what to do with it, other than hope it would go away.
How about you? Do you want to be famous? How about rich? I'd love to hear your musings in the comments.
I think I'd like my name to be remembered, but I don't want to be in the spotlight in my every day life. I agree, I definitely think having money would be more rewarding for me than being famous.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind if my work was remembered. But me myself? I only need to be remembered by those I love.
DeleteI agree. Fame does seem like it could lead to a lot of problems.
ReplyDeleteSo much more trouble than pleasure.
DeleteAbsolutely right, wealthy anonymity for me, every time.
ReplyDeletePerfect!
DeleteI think everyone in the group has gone for money; it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWe're all too wise to fall for fame.
