Not Suitable For....

I was sent a link today for a children's book, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. This may seem abysmally normal to you - until you learn the title of the book: Go The Fuck To Sleep - I was blown away! I've been trying for years to write some cheeky kids book, but can never really parlay the right ingredients. Until I was introduced to this, it never occurred to me to write something off the cuff! Clearly a book of this nature wouldn't exactly top the best sellers list....would it? Who knows, but as a writer, I have to say it is very cleverly written. I'm sure it appeals to the nature of exhausted parents world wide. So why couldn't I do something like this? Well, the truth is I could. I can! It doesn't have to be some cookie cutter mold of what a children's book *should* be - it can be anything I want, so long as it is real. Or written in my true voice, if you will. Give it a watch, I'm betting you'll find it rather amusing as well....

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have my own genius piece to start on....
