Starfish Children's Book

Idea: A children's book about a dumb, barely sentient starfish on land trying to figure out how simple things work, like how to cross a road or navigate in a town. Also: accidentally coming up with ideas that've already been done (SpongeBob, Starro); a cousin who self-published a book on Amazon that pokes fun of a coworker; ending the book how most stars' lives end: in a drug overdose

Brainstorming About Selling A Screenplay

A brainstorming session for a screenwriter who's losing hope about his nearly impossible quest to sell his screenplay, which is a "Monty Python"-esque absurdist Medieval comedy with undertones about coping with the hopelessness of a nearly impossible quest to kill a dragon. Also: meeting Kevin Smith and Kevin Smith's inspirational story about making the movie "Clerks"; whether to take a traditional route or a more "indie" route to promote your creative work; whether to spend all of your effort on your own creative work or whether to participate in groups and help others in their creative pursuits

Life-Recording Intern

Idea: To have an intern follow you around and record or write down things that happen to you and also obtain and write down your thoughts about them (as they happen or shortly thereafter), so you have material available to write a great memoir. Also: the intern could secretly manipulate your life to make it more interesting for the memoir

Idea: A book of advice for adults who have no idea how to act around babies that their married friends are having. First chapter: don't touch it.

Fantasy Sci-Fi Audio Stories

Conversations with God

Idea: A book detailing the author's conversations with God, where the author plays the character of a naive simpleton, and God gives him simple advise on life and how the world works. It'll have an irreverent and humorous bent, despite the misleading title, so people dying of cancer will buy the book seeking emotional comfort and instead find dick jokes
