There IS A Solution

One of the big issues
with using AI
to produce books
is it requires existing books
to guide or train it.

Using those books
is copyright infringement.

That’s a HUGE legal
and ethical problem.

So some clever business builders
now pay for a ghostwriter
to write a novel.

Then they use THAT original story
to create
5, 10, 30 AI copies.

And they publish those stories
under 5, 10, 30 pen names.

The copyright problem
is solved.

Right now, you are likely
struggling with a problem.

Know that there likely IS
a solution
for that problem.

AI And The Romance Novel Industry

AI is currently
writing essays.

I suspect
soon,
if it isn’t happening right now,
many of the Romance novels
writers outsource
to ghostwriters
will be written by AI.

At first,
human writers will do
quality checks.
But soon,
the need for those human writers
will be eliminated.

The market will, then,
become flooded
with those types of romance novels
(products).

I have been preparing
for that future.

I write in a small niche
that won’t immediately attract
the AI handlers.

I write long series of stories
in an intricate world
with interacting characters.
That is a bit more difficult
for AI to duplicate.

And I’m assuming
my business will go away soon.
I’ll ‘retire’
and do something different
with my time.

Changes are coming.
It is best to prepare
for those changes,
even if that means
you’re preparing
for a time
when your business is no longer viable.

Don’t Allow Them To Stop You

The trendy troll review
right now
is to accuse a writer
of using a ghostwriter.
The ‘reviewer’
says the story
doesn’t sound like
one of the writer’s.
They suspect she didn’t craft it.

I write very intricate stories
set in a complex world.

I’ve tried to think of
a writer I could hand
my unfinished series to
should something happen to me.

I’ve yet to find that writer.

My stories definitely can’t be
given to ghostwriters.

Yet I receive
these troll reviews also.
They make no sense for my stories
but that doesn’t stop
the trolls.

Nothing I do will stop them.

So I don’t allow them
to stop me.

Don’t allow them
to stop you either.
Ignore them.
Continue building
your business.
Change the world.

Standardized Your Inputs

A writing mentor once told me
that if my next story
(next product)
couldn’t be handed to a ghostwriter
to write
(outsourced),
my brand likely didn’t
have mass reader (customer) appeal.

The business would never ramp up
to a million dollar
a release level.

My stories can’t be handed
to ghostwriters to write
and I’ve accepted
that my readership growth
will be capped.

“The pressure tends to go
in one direction
–turn your work
into a commodity,
smooth over the edges
and fit in all the way.
That seems hard to argue with,
particularly if you want to be
popular and profitable.”

If you want mass market sales,
used standard inputs.

If you want to create
a truly unique product,
using unique ingredients,
know that your sales
WILL be capped at a certain level.
Accept that.
