It was time. Marc reached into his bag and removed a black file folder. I eyed it with ominous suspicion. "I have this". What is it ? "It's the 'Manual for KUDK Instructors' ". He set it on his lap. I waited.
He'd given it to several Others--- BIG Brains and SUPER BIG Brains----in the Hope of having them work his -------------------- Material -- into Readable Text. They had declined. One Editor told him, "You can't write". Marc had responded with, "I know"---the Editor rejoined, "No, you REALLY can't write."
I was still waiting.
What are you gonna do with it ? "Well----that's why I'm here. I want you to write it up as a Book." When I didn't respond he tried to entice with, "We can be Co-Authors".
I leafed through the file. To my ASTONISHMENT and DISMAY I saw paragraphs of Material I had already summarily REJECTED. All he had done was double-space the typing. It was the Same clusterfuck gibberish only neatly presented. I shook my head, Are you fucking kidding me ?
"I'll pay you 15 hundred". I snapped back More like 10 THOUSAND. KING GRAND in Street Parlance. He feigned Surprise but kwikly agreed. He agreed SOOOO kwikly I sed, I will need cash for expenses that will NOT be included as part of the `King`. He nodded. I continued -- and all the Rigging stuff you have already Given me will NOT be considered as "Monies Up Front". "Of course".
A Book Deal-----------------------------------go figure.
