The brilliant idea

As a new and avid fish keeper, I had a flash of inspiration a few nights ago at 3am, got up, wrote it down, and wrote off to a major pet product manufacturer offering to sell it to them. Now it really is a brilliant idea, and so far I haven’t seen anything like it on the market. I would tell you what the idea is, but then, you know, what would I have left to sell? This is something I’d like to pursue to a successful conclusion. I’m 3 emails into the attempt to sell and looking forward to further conversations with the manufacturer. I give it a 5% chance of success so far. That’s much better odds than the lottery and will actually produce something useful – a great new product that will make fishes and their custodians lives better. And a little lump sum for me too

Hmm. I might need an NDA or, at the very least, a decent contract with which to ensure I don’t end up left with nothing. Time to start looking for a brief…
