Seems that pretty much everyone who gets even a few seconds of media attention are up for consideration of book deals. Michael Jackson is reported to be cooking up a reality series based on his family's experiences during his trial. The guy in Idaho who won the $200 million PowerBall jackpot is scheduled to appear on some morning talk shows, and there's a news report out that he's aiming to build his winnings into a $1 billion dollar portfolio.
Media in this country is little short of insane. The old Roman "bread and circuses" method of politics is revived for our viewing pleasure!
And here I stand, like so countless many others, with a finished book ready to publish, and no interest from anyone in the industry. Pfeh!

What is so interesting about this woman's life that we need a book or movie about it? She didn't want to get married and she ran away and made up a story! That is 10 minutes/2 chapters TOPS! Good grief!

The made-for-tv-movie is a way of life now and I could care what subjects they use; they're all not worth watching (which is how I vote, with my remote). Whether or not I think it's stupid, if some network wants to pay her, she can take it - that's what makes capitalism work. The "bad" part of this is, to me, that someone will watch it. That's the real inexplicable part.
