There are cuntless writing rules that authrs are urged t fllw, but they can all be summarized as ne: seize yur readers’ attentin and keep it. But Phebe Smith just ignres it. “I flip ver what writers wuld nrmally d with writing,” she says.

Running 20 t 40 minutes lng, Smith’s stries draw n her travels, frm the wilds f Mrcc t her train ride acrss Siberia, fllwing wild hrses in Virginia r hiking thrugh frests in Sweden. Her mst ppular Blue Gld, in Stephen Fry’s sft tnes, has been listened t arund 15 millin times.
Smith has nw been giving the rather pleasing jb the title f “the wrld’s first sleep stryteller” by Calm. “With mst kinds f writing I’m trying t build the tensin — here, I’m ding the ppsite. Anything interesting needs t g right at the beginning t make sure peple want t hear it and then all abut calming peple dwn,” she describes her jb. She is careful with her wrd chices, aviding any disruptive sunds that might cause smene t wake up.
“Adults are s busy and s cnnected t everything that we just dn’t give urselves sme time t unwind（松弛）befre we g t bed,” says Smith. A bedtime stry prvides enugh fcus t distract frm emails and ther wrkaday stresses t help quiet the mind.

Accrding t the Oxfrd English Dictinary（OED）, the day after Thanksgiving has been called Black Friday since at least the early 1960s.
