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…
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.

The trick is to get desperate writers to write them for you using your formula. He's essentially the Godfather of AI.OMG he must make a shit ton of money to be giving away so much. I know that's not what I should take away from that article, but that's all I can think about.
I watched his master class on writing, and it was really good. Then I picked up one of his books, as I'd never read any of his before, and I couldn't get through it. Go figure.
No HE's ALWAYS "co-written" books. That stable of writers is his success formula. I knew a writer who wrote for him because she was desperate to get published and thought if she took his deal she could at least have a resume that said SOMETHING by her was published. She got paid a pittance and though I lost track of her-unless she's published under pseudonym it didnt work. You want to know the future for writers under AI-it's this guy. If he's giving back to booksellers it's because he's afraid his golden goose is dying.Oh there's no question this guy has a sure-fire money-making formula. He talks about it in his master class a little bit as well. How he's now co-writing books. I'm sure the guy is tired. And probably bored as hell with his formula. Would be really interesting to see him abandon that, and do something completely new. Although never having made it through one of his books, I wouldn't know the difference.
