Change the power-responsibility quote to: <i>"With great power comes great opportunity</i>." Simply have your character draw the current New York Best Sellers list with one of your books (perhaps <i>Chasing a Rainbow</i>) in the number 1 spot for say 200 weeks running. The magic words: <i>Let it be !</i> If it works, not only will you have a new flash story but also a very lucrative business. :-)Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-81440155410363249782012-04-06T14:22:50.906-04:002012-04-06T14:22:50.906-04:00I'm loving this, Larry.
