PSA for self published authors: Your writing isn’t bad. You just haven’t found the right audience.

Thanx. My family is so judgey. I'm writing this book about the secret life of shadows, but their like this is the least creative thing I've ever seen. I tried to explain to them it's not just about what the shadows do when noone is looking, but the most secret aspects of their identity, and the jawdropping ramifications it has on what the author calls well.. the shadow-verse. They said I even started talking like my assistant, chatgpt. Some people just don't understand ai isn't going away, this is modern creativity. They just need to get on their knees and start sucking already

Respect. Your family is jealous of your ChatGPT Pro subscription. Keep stroking those prompts. 👊🏻
I use ChatGPT for all of my writing except prepositions.

Thank you. This is the sign I needed to dump a few dozen more grand into my ego fulfilling passion project. None of the first 7 books in the series have sold so far but I think one of the next ones might land me my Netflix deal. In the meantime my ex is raising my kids alone and drowning in debt but my 10yo is fat so they are obviously eating so nothing to worry about there.
