Thanks! Once I started going, the first draft came pretty easy. I decided to reengineer the story in the second draft, so I'm struggling through that.

I landed on Highland Pro for screenwriting and Scrivener for novels.

What do you write with?

Still working on second draft of first novel. Also, new book writing software because nothing fits my needs.

I'd much rather read about current events from Teagan's point of view. I'd *pay* for Annie reviewing current events.

He even made a joke book in tribute to his dad, which is kind of nice, I guess?

Mike Young turned to Diane Young and said: “When I die, sell all my stuff.”

“Why?,” asked Diane Young.

“When you remarry, I don’t want some asshole using my stuff.”

“What makes you think I’d marry another asshole?”

And, when I write "shitty clip art," here's one that I think the author made themself demonstrating their drawing ability is just as good as their writing ability.

Long before AI Slop, there was Find & Replace slop. This "author" has hundreds of "The Best Ever Book of _ Jokes" all published in 2012!

They come up with a random subject, Find & Replace that subject in the title and the rest of the book, find some shitty clip art for the cover, and publish!
