How Reality TV Inspires My Writing

Your story is only as interesting as your characters make it. In ‘The Real Housewives’ franchise, no one wants to watch average, run-of-the-mill housewives that literally cook and clean all day. They want to watch over-the-top housewives that make their lives seem fun, interesting and exclusive. So with each season of the show, they bring in these women that seem to have lives that most of us could only dream of. They drive luxury cars, live in gated communities and attend social events that cost thousands to attend. Without a doubt, they are interesting. And when one of them does seem boring, the network is quick to drop them and move on to someone else.
