Trying to play catch-up midweek is not the way to go. Lost Monday evening recovering from the weekend. Lost last night visiting my Mother for Mother's day and found out my daughter was at the hospital for a heart issue and didn't want anyone to know, So to the hospital we went. Dad overrides Grands and daughter. She's fine for now but at 25 needs a cardiologist. I had a heart attack that should have killed me in 2014 and survived with no further complications, but it was a wakeup call to change what I ate, how I exercise, and lost over 100 pounds. Would have been nice to have had a gentler message sent though. And now half way through the week and we have another craft show coming up and zero stock to sell at the Taylorsville Gourd Festival Saturday. Whoops! At least its only a one day show. So the next three nights are a balancing act between Family, SKOOL, BIAM Writing, Crafting, Coding, and maybe some sleep. Conveniently as I mentioned in an earlier post, most of my machines are computer controlled so set them running and keep an eye on them. Robots, like AI have a tendency to wander if you do not keep an eye on them. Sat in yesterday on Jason's StoryHackers huddle for the Automations app announcement. I've said before I'm not a fan of automation. but with that many people that interested in it I might have to rethink my stance on it. His tool looks pretty powerful but complex and i really like discussing and working out the details with the teams. @Tewodros Endalew made an interesting post on the Homework post i put up yesterday that really got me thinking as well. It tied in with some other things they have posted recently that have had me thinking of a direction shift. No changes to current functionality or workflows, but what if we added OTHER workflows as well. I've been hyperfocused on the PWS Skill-rooms, but what if they were only part of the story (pun-intended). I really had not thought about opening up WCP for other kinds of writers until @Stacey Brooks response to my Tuesday monologue. I'm listening folks. Keep talking.

We are currently the PWS Writers Room and our Discovery is at #163 in Tech WHOO HOO!! I want to bump us up higher. My goal is 100 members by my birthday next month. So The "AI Pro Writers Studio" which is where we are headed now. @Adam McCollough @Ahmed Hassan @Ali Anjamparuthi @Amanda Curry Culp @Angela Mitchell @Bill Frisbee @Burke Rigdon @Carl Leonard @Colleen Hurley @Cristal Vancarson @David Jones @David Moore @Dawn M @Dawn Pandoliano @Di Williams @Dom Ioanna @Eboni Payne @Ed Berger @Elynnes Parx @Evan Miller @Gary Leicht @Hazel C @Ilpo Halonen @Isabel T @Jana Matlik @Jocelyn Vienneau @John Macke @Joshua Eaves @Juan Pablo @Kallun Sheppard @Kathleen Osborne @Kathleen Powell @Ken Ross @Kenny Funk @Kylie Allison @Lee Hatton @Lisa Grace

To all those who have birthed children... may you be blessed mightily this day and coming year. If you are alone, look in the mirror and wrap your arms around yourself. Look yourself in the eyes. And repeat this, "Happy Mother's day!" Now, point your index finger at your reflection and back at yourself. "We are going to celebrate. So, get gussied up, do your makeup as if you are going to ball. Hold your head high and call a friend to join you. If you drink have a glass of champagne or mimosa with breakfast, enjoy this time. If you are with family, let them, please let them, celebrate you. Sit back and enjoy the good wishes and hugs, sticky fingered and all. Remember you are the Mother of future generations... and you can be a mother in more ways than one. From four legged kids to two... and the biggest meanest mother on the block when someone messes with your kid. You are AWESOME.

Tell us a out what you are working on or have been working on this week. Or at least give us a peak. If you need accountability partners to keep going just ask! **** I'm continuing to fight with OBS for quality recordings of classes Reworking the whole class page Editting the Manual files Helping users understand WordCrafter.Pro adding, tweaking, and updating WCP as folks send me needs and requests Because there is a limit to what I can do while away from my desk with some of that list I ummm.... Did a thing on my phone yesterday that I might be able to preview below here shortly. Dealing with the administrivia of life, three teenage boys, and 3 separate businesses I don't sleep much or often. ADHD can be a superpower (sometimes) ****

I just found something kinda big missing in WCP. And I do truly appreciate those folks that have found such things as this and all of the suggestions for improvements, so far I think I've taken about every suggestion and added at least something close. Bear in mind I'm still sick and a bit foggy. So this not not be very clear and I'm writing it on my phone. Double whammy. I was wandering the ink&Echoes server on discord trying to plan my own BIAM journey and one of the fine folks there had an interesting genre we don't have yet. So I thought id build it the same way I have it set up for you in WCP. And it worked great except.... I did not build a way to add it as a true genre on the list next to your book title like the rest. Oh sure you can copy to binder and just tick the context box to use it, but not reuse it as easily. Whoops. And the one I added listed a reference document used in planning and marketing but not writhing. There's a few of those hidden behind the skillrooms to make them work better. To create it i just asked genre forge to create thecsupplementary reference file and it did. I didnt add this either. Whoops again. I also shortcutted the process but still like the result. I'll do a video on this when I am a bit more coherent on how to create your own. The manual section on it is close but it still has a few changes I need to make. would it also be helpful to add links to video help in the manual sections? Hosted in skool or youtube? oh and sharing genre packs and custom prompts worth each other! The big one I'm ruminating on and taking notes on is the possibility of collaborative writing... ******Editted I've added the genre pack i was describing above. I haven't entered it into the system yet but I wanted you to see what's under the covers/ The smaller file is what is selected when you choose your genre(s) for your book in the [] on the Book title line. The planning file is much larger and is only used by Story Development, Editorial, Marketing & Merch. Once story development has the plan all the extra is unneeded by the Writer's Room and not splitting them up just increased token use unnecessarily. The Short Story Studio only used the genre file. They do not need that level of detail in planning (most of the time). You can go through the full four phases for a short story and really get into the weeds if you want, but again its generally not necessary from my experience. Please share if you find differently.
