PROBLEM: The Best Way to Greenlight your Project . In her book Web Thinking, successful Hollywood screenwriting consultant and author of numerous books on the entertainment industry, Dr. Linda Seger reveals the real secret to success in any job. She hits the nail on the head--it's about relationships. In my years as a performance improvement specialist to Fortune 100 corporations, 80% of success was not just showing up (like Woody Allen has said), nor is it technical competence and know-how (as our school systems wrongly assume), but rather the establishment of mutually beneficial relationships with our peers, our suppliers and our customers. People get jobs and lose them primarily because their egos are too big to help others succeed. Or as Seger puts it, we need to be "Connecting, Not Competing." Regardless, listen to the interviews with A-listers in any industry. More often it's not the project that creates the critical mass for a greenlight, but how much one person wants to work with another.     Linda's writing was very helpful in the writing of my own book on screenwriting published by Michael Wiese Productions: THE MORAL PREMISE: Harnessing Virtue and Vice for Box Office Success

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: your head will split open and ooze goop after reading this . All I can say is pass me some aspirin. This is a dozy of a bad novel. As it says on the dust jacket, a Supreme Court law clerk grabs a petition and ends up becoming deceased. Its up to the brother to uncover the truth by finding the real killer who had let a poor black man rot away for a crime he did not commit. At the same time the brother contends with mysterious bad guys out to get him and stop the unearthing of the evidence. Not only does he deal with his family, but his brothers friend, a sexy young law clerk herself and the duplicity on the bench she works for.    And that's only the start of the plot.     Its really pretty bad, it descends into mired pretensions and goofy resolutions. The characters are so shallow that you are left with little notion of who they are except for a faint nasty after taste over their conceded ways. Baldacci is along with James Patterson and Dean Koontz one of America's worst authors. If you want an author who writes on a similar vein to this, try one of Harlan Coben's last four or so stand alone thrillers with out the character Myron Bolitar in it. Or for a more sophisticated read, look for Denis Lehane, he wrote the amazing Mystic River, but his PI series located in Boston is pretty good as well.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Have you ever PAID for a brochure? . Look.  They got tired of trying to explain to their customers exactly what their products are and how they work, so they wrote a book to educate and sell them.  It's basically a hardback brochure.  I'm sure they give it to all their hot prospects.  But we the little people get to PAY for it.      There is some useful info on leading indicators but nothing you couldn't find elsewhere free.  And once they teach you which of their magic proprietary indicators to keep an eye on, guess what?  You're supposed to sign up for a subscription to get them, not even the simplest of the data is available free althought the book implies they are.     Booksellers need to stop carrying this kind of 'gotcha' book

SOLUTION:
NEG
