Back before the internet became so addictive, I could write and write and write for long periods. Nowadays I have a really short attention span.

I do try to write hand-written letters every year, but work and chores and everything keeps getting in the way.

I've written two books, both well over 100,000 words. While writing the books, I had to read, and re-read them several times, of course. I also spent quite a bit of time researching things, reading parts of other people's books.

The first one I wrote before ChatGPT existed. I finished the second one last year, but I have no idea how to use ChatGPT to write a book, so I didn't try. Besides, writing is fun, why let a stupid machine do it?

From what I've seen, it's to make a knock off of established work and hope people buy it on Amazon thinking they are getting something from an actually good series.
