Here's another great example of a rising social media meme getting snapped up by old media that will no doubt serve as further inspiration for aspiring writers.
If you've never visited "Shit my Dad Says" I recommend it.
Within moments you'll be laughing out loud and then telling other people about it.
It began as a Twitter feed ... "I'm 29. I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says." Currently at 1.4 million followers.
Then the Twitter feed was posted to Facebook - Number of fans: 929,000
Next came the book deal with the Harper Collins It book label a new popular culture imprint dedicated to entertainment, music, fashion, design, and sports. I believe it came out in May.
And now there is a new TV series starring William Shatner.
I kid you not.
Coming this Fall on CBS.
If only it was unedited and on HBO.
