Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Just parted ways with a longtime client who told me they are firing all of their ghostwriters, except for me, to proceed with AI-generated books. The idea was that I would enhance the materials and make them fit for publishing. No, thanks. Good riddance. 😑

@Gabino_Iglesias He’s a little boy, whose balls haven’t dropped yet. Not worth my time but POS deserves what he gets.

I made many mistakes when I was starting out, so I like to share the things I’ve learned. If you’re starting out, here are some things to keep in mind about anthologies and editors: (a 🧵)

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@Gabino_Iglesias Thank you for this part. Tried to tell writer friends this and was ignored. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@Gabino_Iglesias Nah! Well deserved. I took one of your classes at Lighthouse in Denver, so this is awesome to see you in your element! Congratulations! 👏👏🎉🎉

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@Gabino_Iglesias @vlatinalondon Ouch, those scenes were squeamish to read but I couldn't put this down, pure horror at it's best!

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@whatonnetflix This was fantastic! He never disappoints. Such a great character actor :)

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@vlatinalondon @DelReyBooks Loved this book, resonated with me so much <3

[Gabino Iglesias @Gabino_Iglesias]

Real publishers don’t charge you for editing or a cover or layout. Real publishers don’t make you buy your own books. Real publishers don’t ask you for your advance back if you don’t earn out. Stop spreading misinformation.

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@Gabino_Iglesias Thank you for clarifying this. Had too many writer friends fall under these publishing guises and think it was a good thing. SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@brclothwrites Enough to regret it, knowing it was for the wrong reasons. But it’s in the past and I learned. Did get my GED at least 😉

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@StephenKing on top of the fact the app on your phone makes it look like it's a pornography site. I had 3 people ask me what the heck it was when they saw it on my phone 🙄

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

Are you a character driven or plot driven writer and why?

@brclothwrites So do you happen to like The Misfits or Doyle by chance?

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

@silviamg This is wrong! I've been against AI and this being my biggest fear behind it. I hope you can fight this use or sue for copyright infringement?

[Shelly R Petrelli @RiversPetrelli]

THIS IS NOT OK OR GOOD. It takes years for writers to publish their first work, establish a following with more prolific writing and now it's up for grabs? SMH. AI is no good at all! Wake up people!
