New plan for getting published. It could work for you too!

I have formed a new plan to get published. And, if I may say, it is B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T.

Am I going to....

Finish my MS?

Polish it til it shines?

Edit, Edit, Edit?

Have others read it?

Edit some more?

Query like my life depends on it?

Gain an agent who will sell my book?

Nope. The answer would be none of the above.

I'M GOING TO BECOME FAMOUS!!!!

I'm going to be on a cheesy reality show, get on the covers of tabloids, publicly embarrass myself (possibly get arrested...that's always helpful), maybe throw in some rehab, some public service, a dash of contrite apologies...and BAM! Editors will be fighting over me and my unwritten book. SUCCESS!

Please feel free to borrow my plan, adjust to your liking, and pursue.

*Note: I believe there are a select few celebrities who wrote their own books (or at least had input in them) and deserved to have them published. (But I'm not going to be one of those)
