The Best Seller That Resides In A Corner of My Brain

I have about a dozen plots roaming through my thoughts from time to time. The most prominent one takes place in a hospital setting and ends in divorce court and the target of my animosity losing all his worldly goods.

It has the main characters of a plastic surgeon who is a gifted surgeon but sorely lacking in providing the slighted scintilla of emotional support to his patients. He has a genius IQ but is clueless when it comes to being cognizant of anyone having importance except himself.

Along the way, his patients both male and female are emotionally destroyed by his acceptance of requests for unnecessary procedures and other various poor judgement calls on his part. The ending doesn't kill him off but extracts a little revenge in the area of financial status.

Would be such fun to write and wouldn't be expected to be anything but the slushy little romance novel with some gratuitous sex thrown in. (gotta sell it somehow). But woe is me, I'm not going to spend all those hours writing something I'm not going to be sure of getting paid for. Hell, if I want to be ripped off timewise, all I have to do is sell my writing for peanuts on GAF.

My other story ideas have great depth, I'm not ALWAYS shallow. lol
