Open Book Blog Hop – 14th July 2025

Welcome back to another Open Book Blog Hop!

Which would you rather have? Money or Fame?

Remember to visit my fellow writers to see what they have created. You can find their works here!

Money. No hesitation or question about it. Not because I’m greedy or capitalistic, but because fame does nothing for me. The idea of losing your privacy and freedom because you will always be noticed, everywhere you go. I’m just not the kind of person who would enjoy that sort of attention – I’d be much happier flying under the radar.

Money, on the other hand, would always be welcome. I’d be able to help people out and give some to charity. And, yes, make my life more comfortable. Pay off the mortgage, indulge in hobbies and passions more freely, and, if it is a substantial enough sum, give up work to enjoy those pursuits.

  1. My choice too. If my books could be well-known without me becoming recognizable to the general public — yeah, I’d be down with that. And I think a bit of fortune could do that. I imagine a good advertising budget would promote the books without me having to publish my real name. This blog hop assignment came in right as I was determining I a) need a newer used car before this coming winter; and b) I can’t afford to take a mission trip to Peru, so it definitely got me thinking about priorities.

    It’s gotta be unreal, unnerving, to be famous. I don’t think I’d like it. If it were all positive, that would be okay, but nothing is ever that free of consequence. Seeing behavior in comments on social media often gives me anxiety, and they’re not even my posts!
