Did I tell you when I was going to save the Fox network with my soap opera concept?Back in the 90s I wanted to write the next great American daytime soap opera to save the Fox network! Did the network need saving? Maybe or maybe not.
I would pull actors from the nighttime soaps and I would take the most popular characters that were written off the other soaps and invite them on my show. The show would feature storylines that focus on minorities and their lives.
See ABC, NBC and CBS had daytime dramas. Why not FOX?! I had a notebook full of storyline possibilities. I subscribed to the Soap Opera Magazines to know who was leaving their shows . To know what storylines were coming and ending. How could I improve upon what already had been done?
Then the 00’s hit and the networks started canceling the soaps one by one for talk shows and cooking shows and more news. I tossed my notebook to the side. There wouldn’t be anyone buying a daytime soap or even a nighttime soap if it didn’t include supernatural elements.
Today there are only 4 left. 1 on ABC, 1 on NBC and 2 on CBS. Not great, but what is good is that streaming channels have increased with channels all over the place who need content.
Shall I search for my notebooks from years ago and retool my concept? I have much knowledge that I didn’t have before . Is this my time to shine…..
Would you watch?
Manifesting greatness starting in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….

this poetry thang
gift from God
rough spots abound
my mind sees a clown
who would try this?
if the shoe fits
and the inspiration hits
go for it
don’t worry if no one reads it
likes or comments
maybe they’ll remember
your name.

everyday we get up
rise to the occasion
sometimes it’s amazing
until it’s not.
we try our best
put on our super-hero chest
fake it till you make it
the chain is stronger than you think
i realize everyday it’s how you think
thoughts become things
it’s time to think great thoughts
try it, it’s you.

starting over from scratch
fear, anxiety, heart palpitations
but will it be worth it?

as i writes today
alas troubles aren’t so far away
put my head under the covers
life can bring such druthers
i need my peace
universe please hear me.

big yes laying here
with you
problems erased.

Roller coaster or screaming lady
it’s more than death
I see it as a rebirth
of the new you
the stress and pain of
this existence
scream it away
there’s hope its a new day.

Sometimes you don’t have to ask
but the truth is universally told
like rain on a scorching hot day
needed but unwanted
perceptions disjointed
but what do you expect they’re only kids.

I’m leaving today
don’t know where
everything’s changed
I’m grown/I’ve grown now.
