I am also writing a book of my million dollar shot.

I did researching if there were many books on someone having an opportunity to take a million dollar shot. I found a series of  children books by Dan Gutman so I decided  to facebook him. He appeared to be my type of guy and he had many zany, fun and educational ideas for children. However my facebook exchange with him raised my BS meter about him even if I truly like his work and persona. Here is my exchange verbatim below:
 What are your vibes? Another full of themselves opportunist doing children products? Look how he offered to help me By referring me and demonstrating to me  that his ideas were stolen by this sports author?  He is only advice to me is to refer me to someone who appears to in someway use this idea and perhaps prevent him from monetizing bigger. Anyway if anything I might have been the source of his inspiration since I had the most media exposure from this contest. I am most inspirational we all know that.
Something is funny here I think or a harmless exchange?

    My sole financial motivation is to help pay my twin daughters student loans they will carry in a heavy suit case to start life.They are almost finishing nursing school. I will share this nugget that I learned from all this. It maybe hard to change your shot, but there is always more than one million dollar shot . Just adjust your approach. You welcome for the offer....I have alot of writer friends including me.
