Q: Which would you
choose? Fame or fortune?
A: Artificial
dichotomy.
A#2: Why
do I have to choose?
A#3: Define
‘fame’ for this mid-list author.
A#4: Can
fortune be defined as enough money to live on until I die?
A fortune is in the eyes of the beholder....
A#5: I notice the conditional in the
question, which suggests the questioner doesn’t think I’m likely to have to make
this decision.
A#6: Let me go back to daydreaming I
could make a fortune by becoming an author famous for my French village
mysteries, debuting in 2017. A girl can dream, can’t she?
I hope you got permission to use that photo of Princess Diana, Susan! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post here! Tackled the question bit by bit from a variety of angles—and I particularly loved that you noted the conditional here!
ReplyDeletePerfect :)
ReplyDeleteMeredith, truth is I'm so afraid of getting busted for using a photo I grab from the Internet that I was desperate to find something!
ReplyDeleteArt, ah yes, the conditional tense. It disturbed me.
RM, you like prevarication, I see... :-)
Am finding this one hard to write about....thanks for this :-) I look forward to reading Rachel's response tomorrow
ReplyDeleteEveryone can dream. Fame and fortune, here you come with your new French series.
