When a "fellow author" from New York (who strangely can't send a simple web link) tries to pitch you on "marketing services," there is only one logical response: In-character sci-fi nonsense.

I spent this morning explaining my interplanetary transportation funnels to a scammer who just wanted to talk about "sales funnels." Apparently, their investment portfolio doesn't cover Martian people transport yet — just transporting money from the pockets of unsuspecting writers 😛

Friendly reminder to my fellow writers: if someone slides into your DMs to "connect" and immediately pivots to your marketing strategy or asks for money, they aren’t your peer — they’re a bot or a grifter. Keep your wallet closed, and your sense of humor open!

And always have some fun with them. Who knows, it might get that creativity juice flowing 🙂
