Apart from the copyright issues involved, the heavy environmental toll of generative AI and how it is more likely to restrict your imagination rather than expand it, generating a novel won't actually give you that satisfaction of writing a novel. It's simply not the same thing at all, and more similar to asking someone to tell you a story with very specific requirements.

The joy of finally completing a novel is all about the process it took to create something that is wholly, uniquely yours, flaws and all, and that you can feel proud of. Don't cheat yourself out of that.

If you find it difficult to get started, figure out what exactly is the obstacle: is it in coming up with plots, or characters, or a matter of your language skills? Read more books and stories in the genre you're interested in. Watch movies, and watch people. Inspiration is everywhere. Then, write as much and as often as you can, and you will naturally get better over time.

All the best, and I hope your dream comes true one day.

(contrary to some sources, he was not the star and only appeared for that minute or so.)

If it’s in fact the case, Keanu playing an immortal vampire would be the internet’s dream come true.

(Also, Hardball reunion!)

@Penny - yes, I should still receive emails from there, but I don't recall any recently. Let me know if you send another and I'll check to see if it ended up in spam or something.

@secretkeeper81 - I'm really glad you've been enjoying the site, and thanks for all the nice comments!

You can refer to the list of articles I linked higher up in the thread: www.whoaisnotme.net/forums/view.php?threadid=1003&p=4#21256

Multiple people who are close to Keanu have stated that he is not on social media, and Keanu himself has likewise said that he isn't. I don't know what else can be done, unfortunately. Try and contact social services in your area.

Would it be possible for you to be present during one of those FaceTime calls? (Or ask her to take a photo.) It would be easiest to tell if it's an impostor, but one other tactic they use is to show a video of Keanu talking and then do a voice over, so it looks like he's speaking.

Keanu's friends (and Keanu himself) have repeatedly emphasised that he is not on social media and will not contact anyone through there:

From Alex Winter:

"Hi, I appreciate that the imposter Keanu thing is stressing some people out, but all anyone needs to understand is that he has zero social media accounts," wrote Winter. "They're all fake. Thanks."

From Ed Solomon (Bill & Ted writer and close friend of Keanu), regarding another imposter:

---

"If she’s the kind of person who would believe any one of the 26,475 fake Keanus out there is a real Keanu, I’m not sure anything will convince her. It’s not real. Keanu is not on social media and would never reach out to anyone. Not ever."

Some news reports:

"A Hamilton Township woman who thought she was communicating with Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves over social media was scammed out of $2,700, Northumberland OPP said."

A PSA from another group that's been tracking fake Keanu accounts, many of them survivors of the scam:

Someone who said: "they sent me a forged copy of a drivers licence and they did a video chat with footage of Keanu and them speaking over the top - I couldn't understand him as the syncing was out and there was an obvious non American accent"

Hopefully all this will at least make her a little suspicious.

Also, do remind her that Keanu is currently probably in some form of lockdown with his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, who is not likely to be happy if he's always chatting to random women on video.

He replied: "It’s not real. Keanu is not on social media and would never reach out to anyone. Not ever."
