Michael threw down the gauntlet and it landed on my feet. After a toe-throbbing hop about, I think I’ve cracked the new publishing code. Keeping this flash of insight locked in my typing fingers is harder than losing this last 10 pounds!

When I awoke this morning, the answer was in my head, fully fleshed out and in living color. Thanks Michael, for implanting the seed in my brain before bed!  

Of course, I can’t give it to you right now. I have to test the theory and if successful, will report back to you here on Red Room. If it is not successful, well, it’s four and twenty blackbirds for me. And Chris, if you’re reading this, I’ll take mine with pepperoni and cheese.

I’ll give you a clue. A small part of my idea was sparked by something I wrote in: http://www.redroom.com/blog/lslbradford/1-part-fascination-1-part-excavation-1-sentence-high-concept

You will find part two of that blog: http://www.redroom.com/blog/lslbradford/when-passion-trumps-formula

So wish me luck, I’m off into the world to see if I can create the next best-seller with my shiny-new publishing model. And Michael, put your running shoes on!

BOUNCE

Michael,

I can't believe you wrote so many manuscripts in such a short time--and by hand! What an achievement on the ladder to refining the skills, hey?

Wow, so nice you have complete confidence in me. Don't worry, when it tests well, I'll share my secrets.

Is your 'bounce' secret, too?

Best,
Leslie
