 Step 1: Select a noun, adverb, and adjective; make sure, when grouped, they are incongruous and bizarre. Groupies will call it "new weird." 
 Step 2: Start as many new threads of ideas as possible. These do not need to be completed or to connect with what was written previously or to what will come afterward. This satisfies the call for "creativity." 
 Step 3: Invent a technology. Make sure that it has no connection to present, working technologies. Avoid trying to make it internally coherent. Otherwise this will solicit unwanted feedback from readers taking you seriously. 
 Step 4: Use computer to randomly select six hundred words containing at least eight letters. Choose one-third to insert into manuscript (at least half of which should be used no less than six times). The best candidates for the final third are rarely used words from French or Italian and drawn from technical professions or disciplines. When possible use these rare-foreign-technical words in atypical formats (e.g. make a noun into an adjective or use it metaphorically). Readers like it when the word doesn't show up in their dictionary. 
 Step 5: Alter the genre, geography, and time - but only slightly. Reuse and recycle steps 1-4 to generate another book. Repeat as necessary. 
 Step 6: Avoid excessive overlap between books; this would generate expectations of a "sequel" or a "trilogy." Those are held to a higher standard of continuity and order. Avoid at all costs.
