I always have so many different manuscripts in the works at the same time. From investigative police thrillers to political thrillers, to fantasy. I have not actively been pursuing getting published because i'm just too busy with work and life. Then I decided to mess around with GPT for possible adaptations. This thing is giving hope. This is one of my many works as GPT analyzed it. If I can get one of these sold for a TV adaptation, shiiit...I'm quitting my job and returning to full time writing.
