"Well, that didn't go as planned."
I stared at my screen, rereading the email for the tenth time. It was official—the contract for my novel had been rejected. Not because it wasn't interesting. Not because it wasn't well-written. But because… cue dramatic music… it had AI-generated content.
Yep. Turns out, the big bosses don't like that.
Now, don't get me wrong—I wasn't letting a robot do all the work while I sipped coconut water on a beach. I still had to research—a lot. Making sure every little historical detail was accurate? Painful. Twisting my brain into a pretzel to keep the logic airtight? Even worse. This novel ate my brain cells like a video game boss fight, and without the hope of a contract, it was starting to feel like grinding for XP with no rewards.
So after a lot of thinking (and maybe some snacks for brain power), I decided to do the only logical thing—drop this novel.
"But wait!" you say. "Is this the end? Will you never write again?!"
Fear not, dear reader! A new story is already in the works. One that I hope you'll enjoy even more. This time—no AI, just me. Let me write one without AI. Let me blow your servers. 🚀🔥
This isn't goodbye—it's just a plot twist! 😏
