    Ladies, you’re writing about a different gender, not a different species. Don’t write a male character, write a character who happens to be male. It’s not that hard, especially if you ever talked to man. Just give them a a personality, backstory, hobbies, etc.

    If someone asks you to write a book for them and (hopefully) pays for the privilege, then yes it is ethical. If you write a book and use someone else's name to sell it without their permission...that's bad...that's very very bad. I've never ghost-written for anyone...I didn't have the spirit for it.

    Brandnew to the channel. Honestly, it's whatever. I'm would assume in the case of the disabled person. While they can't write themselves. They would potentially be more involved in the creation process. So, whomever is penning the words is irrelevant. In the blog scenario, like you said, I don't care who actually wrote it. Regarding AI, I follow a channel that does AI short stories. They are up front about this and have said they feed the idea to AI. Then, edit and fix the story. To what extent I don't know. But, because they're up front with their processes, I don't worry too much about it. Point is this, as you mentioned, if the reason you utilize ghost writing through another person or AI and take credit for their work. You may want to self-reflect why that course of action is so important to you and why you're comfortable taking credit for other people work. I'd have far greater respect for someone who clearly stated they had someone write their biography. Then, falsely stated it was an autobiography.

    • @bymegangrant
      @bymegangrant 2 дня назад

      Wow. I don't hear of many people owning up to using AI. That's a start, for sure. At least readers know what they're looking at, you know? That was my reaction when I learned that a lot of entrepreneurs don't write their books -- like, why not just SAY that? If it was good information, I don't know that I would care. But instead, finding out after the fact that they lied, that was a huge turn-off.

    I definitely agree that one must write for the right reasons. Not to become famous or as a a 'get rich quick' method. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen from people saying that writing a book is an easy way to side income. They say it's super easy...but writers know that it takes A LOT of brainpower and dedication. By the way, can you please tell me what genres you write in (i.e. romance, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)? Thanks in advance and take care!

    • @bymegangrant
      @bymegangrant 2 дня назад

      I couldn't agree more! It's so much harder than people let on. You HAVE to love writing, or it's pointless. I've written humor, mystery, and my latest is... supernatural/fantasy? I'm still trying to figure that out. :p How about you?? Thanks for your comment. :-)

    How do you know your good enough? Need a confidence boost in your writing? Write a book, or a couple chapters at least. Let it sit for a month or so and then edit it into a new draft. Let it sit for a month and read it again. That is a given and that is what we all should be doing. Now comes the fun and humbling part. Go to a grocery/department store and pick up a few books on the shelves that are designed for mass commercial consumption and read them. And be honest with yourself regarding whether your material is at least on par (not better) than this material. If it is at least on par, you are not wasting your time. This is also a trap in that a lot of these mass published books are either the 'made it' authors like Patterson, King, and Child. Or they are mass written under pseudonyms and are bodice-rippers, murder fo the week, etc. The former is what we are all wanting, but the latter is where you might find yourself landing in time. And that is fine. That means a paycheck. And if the paycheck is used to pay the electric bill then congratulations, you are now a professional writer.
