We should have a "DEAR INSPECTOR WENDY" Thread like dear abby.

I'm hoping to market the book and tours etc, with a definite NACHI bias, to Amazon and maybe the morning talk shows etc. I think it could be a really awesome idea.

Someone came up with the idea of a billboard and everything!!!

Get a grip.

Jealous?

Hows the book deal going?

[jclark1]

Yeah Windy that's it. I'm jealous. I don't think you'd want to have this conversation in a public forum.

Wendy,
I am quite an artist. If you send me some head shots I can turn it into a caricature with a cartoon inspector body. Let me know! BW

Well then say that (although I don't know why), it's much more polite than saying "get a grip".

It's going great on my end. Haven't heart anything back from Nick. But the thing is, I've copyrighted the whole idea so that I can use it along with my Inspector Wendy Idea. I think that it could be a huge success. Anyone that exploits an idea that I've published on the web indicating that it is for profit is committing a crime and will be prosecuted.

So, people can either jump on the bandwagon or they can sit on the sidelines. But only one of them is going to bring in lots of money.

BOB!!! Baby!!! Perfect! That is exactly what I am looking for!!! I'll email you my headshot and you can work with it and send me ideas.

If you are a good artist and are interested in doing the artwork for the book let me know okay?

Thanks!!!

Wendy, you got it! Be glad to offer my talent. If you have a couple of different angles of headshot it will help. For instance straight on face shot, slightly angle left, right, etc. It'll help me with exaggerating the features. Bob

You may want to re-consider the Sherlock Holmes and magnifying glass gig...as an identifying logo and psychological meme, it's thoroughly over-done, so much so that it has several forks sticking in-it. If you are able to capitalize on Sherlock having...well...locks, that might be pretty unique, and get some attention. Otherwise, you might just be blending into the crowd...

I'd have a "Plan B" available, just in case.

Peter, I was talking about facial features!

Christopher is 100% right about the sherlock holmes/magnifying glass thing. It was so over used because Microsoft had a generic gif. version that tons of inspectors were using. I will use a different approach though not yet determined. I'm sure Wendy will love it.
