Wish it was that easy!

I've been watching Gossip Girl on Netflix lately (yes, I was quite a few years late on that trend!) and was thinking how unrealistic some things in the show are. Obviously they are all rich and that's unlikely enough, but on the series I'm on now, one of the girls took a book that wasn't even written by her to be published and it was as simple as that. Another girl started talking to a man about a book he was turning into a film and his boss came along and offered her a job there and then. Once she'd finished that job the director offered her another job with more responsibilities. I just wish real life was that easy. I work as a hairdresser and while it's a lovely job, it really isn't very well paid so all I want is to be able to do just a few hours here and there somewhere else, but I can't seem to find anything that would a, be suitable, b, be close enough for me to walk to or c, let me choose the hours I want to work. I know I can't just expect people to be flexible for me, but that's exactly my point. Life is just not that easy and I so wish it was!

Yes, fiction can be unrealistic. That's why it's called fiction. Still, it'd be nice to have a breadfruit tree that produced loaves of bread or a lady slipper plant that produced lovely shoes...

@Samanthaowen1991 I'm assuming you mean gold coins. Can't really spend lumps of gold.

I didn't really watch the show, but I read a couple of the books long before the show.

I didn't ever read any of the books! Most time I find out there is a series of books after I start watching the show. Same with pretty little liars - I had no idea they were books until after watching the show!
