A Reality Show for YOU?

I wouldn't say I am a passive fan of Reality Television, I would say that I am an ACTIVE NUT of the unscripted genre.  I've been enraptured by the unique form of television programming since Survivor broke new ground  with their reality-based game show.  Every show since that time, whether it be The Simple Life or American Idol, dictates an embarrassing large portion of my time. 

The charm of Unscripted Television is not just that we are allowed a peek into the lives of outrageous, but average, Americans, but also in theory, ANYONE can be cast in these shows.  In reality though, it takes a real skill and strategy to not only be cast, but to make the most of your appearance(s) on television.  

Over the years, I have become such a huge fan of this genre that I routinely help clients craft their auditions, have personally appeared in several pre-existing shows and have gone so far as to script new shows, cut sizzle reels and help sell shows for clients!  It's an obsession that I love and I've been so fortunate in this arena that it apparently loves me too.  So when I received yet another e-mail last week from a lovely young lady living in Southern USA, seeking help in creating her own show, I realized, I am indeed in a unique position that allows me to speak creatively, from a place of experience, when discussing Unscripted Television.

Ewww ... Did You Take a Shower?

Would you believe my last blog post, "Are you Out'cha Damn Mind?", became my most read blog of all time?  For some reason, that beautiful piece of literature amused, entertained and insighted strong emotions.  So following up such a masterpiece of the written word has been my personal struggle for the past several days.  Finally, it dawned on me ... WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER.

Much to the delight of those around me, each morning, I take a shower.  Not only does this daily ritual wash the stink away, the shower tends to be the place where I get my absolute best ideas.  When my family was struggling to figure out a way to spend a day in Southern Minnesota, it dawned on me that The Spam Museum was just a short drive away, the moment my feet hit that slippery shower floor.  I wrote Underpuppy while in the shower.  And had it not been for the warm splash of hard Des Moines water pounding against my face, there's no telling if the ending of my controversial upcoming book, "Unleashing a Momster" would ever have popped into my overtaxed melon.

So that is where we begin today's blog entry - Where Is YOUR Shower?   Everyone has a proverbial shower, where all their best ideas materialize in their head.  While I tend to be the most focused as I lather up with a handful of BeautiControl Spa Products to put my mind somewhere relaxed and tropical, yours very well may be somewhere less obvious.  Perhaps your clarity comes when you are commuting to work or as you cook a nutritious dinner of Digourno Pizza and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese?  Maybe your brilliance peeks the second before you doze off into a beautiful and scenic slumber-land?  Whether you are at your most creative and clear while you relax in the tub or after your screaming children finally pass out, recognizing the details of when you are most likely to experience the light of brilliance is a key to grabbing hold of your best ideas.

It is important to know when you are most creative if you plan to be successful in the entertainment industry, but this is also helpful in all aspects of life.  Now that I recognize that my brightest ideas come while I am in the shower, I generally have a pen and paper stashed somewhere in the bathroom, just to ensure that I can quickly jot down my brilliance as the ideas occur.  

Regardless of where your "shower" is, keeping a writing utensil in the direct vicinity is highly recommended and is the BRILLIANT advice I offer in today's blog.  Your moment of clarity might be as simple as joining Heather Ryan's Success Club or as complicated to Ending World Hunger.  Either way, WRITE DOWN the fruits of your lucidity and ACT UPON THEM!  It is one thing to have a million dollar idea, but it takes a real barnstormer to actually take action and MAKE that million dollars!   

Remember, had I not acted upon the ingenuity of my morning showers, Eden's World would never have become a reality - and that would have been TRULY Tragic!  (Yes, You should DEFINITELY follow that hyperlink - it's my little surprise gift to you!)    


Until next time, I'm stinky and out of ideas - it's time for a shower ...
