There is a Romance Writers Association? So. Many. Questions.

Yes. Interesting piece on NPR today about it. Romances are the most profitable genre in book selling. Big schism and big concerns. It is a fascinating piece.

Many main stream fiction writers author romance under pen names for the money.

And why in the world would anyone call it Trump tv?!

My bet is that 95% of the people reading this board have never watched the Hallmark channel or any of the movies.

I told my dd and she screamed at me and asked why I was "watching Trump TV"? The reason is I used to watch MSNBC 24/7 and I just can't stand to even hear Trump's name uttered anymore and I'm tired of all of the stupid tweets he sends. I think MSN should stop covering Trump at all...he just wants attention.

So, yes, Hallmark is a total escape and I was astounded at how very white it is. I did think it was crazy that they didn't have a single Jewish movie about Hanukah or even one about everyone celebrating whatever religious holiday they happen to celebrate.

The movies are like the Stepford wives. All of the women look the same. I got addicted just as I did to the Home Shopping Network when I was in law school. The shows lull you into thinking about a relaxing "good old days" environment (even though "the good old days" were not good at all for women or blacks or Jewish people, etc.

Hallmark must know what they're doing and I can see where it could be likened to Nazi propaganda. Scary. The Christmas movies ended last night ... so that's my Hallmark fill for the season.

Nice troll post.

HA...not a troll post at all. You'd have to know me to know how much I love movies. I saw 294 movies in the theater in 2019 and 280 in 2018. And, I work full-time. You'd have to watch the Hallmark movies to know what I'm talking abut here...but instead you were quick with the old .."must be a troll post".
