• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Views? When is your novel truly your work?

It's merchandise for MBB. That's life. The real wowsy is how/why did the ghostwriter make such a hash of it? Did they fall out in the making? (Now that might make a good comic story.)

Youtube clip of girl critiquing the book is worth watching as an exercise in how potentially good stories can fail their audience.
 
So sad. Since I don't watch TV, I don't know who MBB is other than a Netflix star. Is that right? But to hire a ghostwriter and then have the ghostwriter betray her? Embarrass MBB about the inferior quality of the ghostwriter's work? And who connected them?

Sounds like a mean girls drama. Could make a TV series. Think Seven Lives of Evelyn Hugo gone wrong.
