shadowkat: (Tv shows)

I like to do this every once and a while - find out what tv series that people reading or lurking on my livejournal are reading. Assuming of course anyone is outside of the handful of folks that occasionally comment. It's really impossible to tell who reads your journal and who doesn't, even if you lock all the entries - isn't it? Sort of true about most things that we write or say - actually. You don't know if people read it or heard it - unless they respond. Whether they grokked it - is a whole other issue. (Grokked is now a word - which Robert Heinlein created - and it means understood, but really totally understood it, as opposed to just got it.)

A couple of caveats regarding this poll - it is unfortunately slanted toward American Standard and Basic Cable Television, because that is what I have access to. Also, only tv shows that are on this season, nothing that is cancelled or in hiatus. (ie. only available on DVD or netflix streaming). Also if your favorite series is not referenced, because seriously there are over 125 tv series on at the moment and I can only remember or possibly watch 28 of them, please just list it in the comments. And it's more than possible I'll forget one of the one's I'm watching. (Lack of sleep may be killing short term memory cells.) Apologies for mistakes in advance. I'm doing a poll because they are easier to get responses to than memes.




[Poll #1984210]


Oh I only listed the new shows that have premiered to date. If it hasn't premiered yet, I didn't list it. And with the exception of Walking Dead (which is rerunned on numerous channels, and Arrow, I left tv shows that haven't aired yet this week off the list. Or tried to. Trying to keep it current.

I became a teacher - I really dislike the whole book signing mentality. I couldn't break through it. But I did like talking at a few local conferences and teaching adults (which is how most authors really get bread and butter).

But Montessori - training and teaching - I loved that more than anything. It was revolutionary - teaching children to think is the most revolutionary action on the planet. Dealing with administration was a nightmare, and I loved the parents but had no way to remember their names. I am like you there.

Sounds to me like you are doing everything right in the writing era. Hell, Cathy had a b-day party for one of the kids and gave out paper dolls and somehow I ended up with a writing career. We self published a Victorian paper doll book, and a bookstore owner told us to go to a small local publisher. So, you write and jobs and opportunities arrive. I am very big on self-publishing.

Ah, fantasy me has coffee, deep and witty talk and become best friends in some vague way. Real me laughs it's ass off in between scathing insults.
