Paperback Writer: Now Appearing at Bingo Night

---

My next book has a title.
I used AI to test market some alternatives, and we came up with: Paperback Writer: Now Appearing at Bingo Night.

Note to curious: you can't copyright a book title, or a song title. I can't use someone else's lyrics or tune, but I can use the title. Example: There was a corny Big Band song titled Stairway to Heaven from 1953, totally unrelated to Led Zeppelin... no problem.

Led Zeppelin did get sued for supposedly stealing the tune for Stairway to Heaven from a 1960s rock band called Taurus, ​but Zeppelin won the suit.

Anyhow....
​
Paperback Writer will have a few illustrations, in the form of coloring book pages, in a cynical attempt to tap the lucrative adult coloring book market.

​Crayons sold separately.

Below is an excerpt.

                            ------------------------------------------------------------------

What you’re holding now isn’t really a memoir. Or a novel. Or even a helpful guide for other confused writers.
This is a book-shaped comedy club.

Each chapter? A new set.
The narrator? Me, pacing around your brain with a handheld mic and some unresolved issues.

Why this format?

Because, like the rest of humanity, I now have the attention span of a fruit fly.

Let’s be honest: nobody reads long chapters anymore.
People skim, scroll, read the first sentence, then wander off to watch a YouTube video called Top 10 Sandwiches Eaten by Classic Movie Stars.

And you know what? I watched that one.
Humphrey Bogart? Big fan of peanut butter and sardines on rye.

Not really. I made that up. But admit it—you believed me for a second.

Oh, and when someone asks what you’re reading, say:

“It’s a literary masterpiece..."

Then hand them a crayon.
Because my “retire in comfort” plan is based on crayons. That's where the real money is.

                    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ​
The book is coming soon. Also to be an audiobook, narrated by me.
Specifically written for your tiny attention span.
