I asked ChatGPT5 to read my manuscript and tell me what the author comps for the book might be. It's been reading for 48 hours now, and it's only half way through the novel. So much for the warp-speed productivity of AI. Of course it could be my writing!

I'm not a huge Go Fund Me person, and I'm aware that there are plenty of scams out there, but I can personally vouch for this man, and attest to his courage and selflessness on the day the Palisades fire started. He could use a little help. Please share. gofundme.com/f/support-daren…

I’m tempted to use some devastatingly witty banter to comment on this book. Instead I’ll just say it’s hilarious. And bang on target. Congratulations @maxdickins
