So the "Big 4" ghost farms are a real thing. I had seen authors churn out multiple books on a 1-2 month basis utilizing the same universe (or same basic characters) and wondered. I figured I was just stuck in the past but then Kirk Mason mentioned how writers nowadays have "fingers of steel" to achieve that rate of writing.

I wonder how ChatGPT will change this field going forward. I am going to have it write a couple of chapters in the style of different authors to see the result -I will probably get a complete book by lunchtime. The problem will be that I cannot ethically post it.

Also, please do not burst my bubble about amazon reviews and tik tok follower counts.
