How do I write an average book for an average of 500 people? Should I teach them about gay vampire buttsex?

from rando google site
>Self-published authors can earn 40% to 60% royalties for the selling price of a book, while traditionally published authors typically earn 10% to 12% royalties.
at 15$, selling 500 copies nets:
3750$ when self publishing
825$ when going the traditional route
Deduce taxes and you're looking at.. TFJ(Total Financial JUSTING)

Just figure out a way to “write” a book by guiding an AI through a plot summary every two weeks and you’re making a living.
