You are a writer?

That's awesome. I'm not a writer, but I have a great idea for a book. You should take my idea and write it and we can split the insane amount of sales this book will no doubt produce, in half.

Here is my idea. I know, I should not share it with you because you might just run off and do it by yourself and leave me with nothing, though the idea is mine and we all know the idea is So much more important than the actual writing of the book. You better not run off. This idea is a million dollar idea.

The book will be a collection of story ideas that you have decided to not write. There will be thirty or so possible books that you are not going to write. There are a million ideas and you can only write a few, so now you have a book filled with the also-rans and the runners-up.

Why is this a great idea? Well. Come on! It's a fantastic idea and you know it. Don't play "too cool for school" with me. It is a great idea because it will allow the reader to see the thought process of a write in regard to what they will write and what they will pass on. Also, if the reader likes an idea, we can give them permission to run with it. We will work on a pay schedule for that later, but right now we have the book filled with ideas that just don't cut it. Who wouldn't want a book like this?

People will buy it because there has never been a book like this before. Ever. Don't be trying to come up with examples of how this book idea is not original, you are wrong. This book is very fresh and you would be crazy to not split fifty fifty with me. Like I said, you have the easy part. You just have to write every single word. Easy peasy.

So what do you say? You in?
