Does anyone remember the old show "Welcome back Kotter"? OOOH OOOHH OOHH Mr Kotter, Mr. Kotter *flailing hand in the air to get attention* Well this is a skool and I want to show this to everyone as the biggest update to WordCrafter.Pro to date, COMPOSITIONAL GENRE'S!! Instead of just picking a pre-built genre-pack or guide...What if you could create your own with a few choices and clicks and include all of the options you needed for something special. Well here you go! Go to your Settings >genres and there is a new button at the top of the genre page. I've included both a short video on how it works and a printed how to guides with some "recipes" for sample ides and why you would want this. Please let me know if I missed anything. I've included in the video How I do the updates to this system and how it can grow and evolve. Now here's the kicker. I am not in any way a math whiz so I turned to my buddy Claude again and had to ask: Just how many combinations are possible? As it stands now, and I've already made some additions while testing it, the number he gave me was more than 441 BILLION combinations. And they will stack with each other just as our existing (now called monolithic) genre's and they will stack with the existing as well to mix and match even more. Just be careful to not mix too many things or they might get a bit muddy. And just to put the real topper on this one: If this STILL isn't good enough for you. Add additional genre information from your own sources to a file in the binder and tell the teams to use the selected genre and the additional genre information you added to the binder. Let me know what you think, how well it works for you, what is still missing, and anything else you want to share about it

How do we each deal with Overwhelm for some of us it's a regular event. Usually I try to take a break for a night or two and watch some silly show or movie. Unfortunately something in them usually spurs an idea and out comes the phone for quick research, the notebook for a fast memory cue later or a laptop to design a new app, write a scene for a new story, play with creating images, or try to avoid doing anything real by playing librarian and sorting files on the server. SOOOO many files. Sometimes I even find something I'm looking for. This is a monologue all in and of itself. Suffice it to say I am a data hoarder on a level that passed "son you have a problem" and went right on into some form of insanity plea for help. I think I need an intervention of some kind. Aaaaand the mind wanders down new rabbit holes. Last night I wanted to be super productive and drive a couple things home and got nothing. I did sort through the download folders on my too many work machines and try to get them all in one place, but I think that's all I truly accomplished last night. Overwhelm. Once upon a time I dealt with it by having a glass of wine and going to sit on my roof and chat with my next door neighbor that did the same thing late nights, but she liked beer more. Sometime my roommate would come up and join us with his beer. Music is a good one, but I put the headphones on and lean back on the couch enjoying a tune ZZZZZZ snore..... At least its restful. I hear meditation and Tai Chi or yoga are good. And of course....wait! what? Oh right... we're WRITERS! Writers write! But is it really relaxing? Exciting, fun, frustrating, but relaxing? I think the relaxing part is the read throughs, the casual edits. Finding a new author you love and then figuring out why. How do you all deal with overwhelm. I'm genuinely curious because I have such a hard time with it. Share your thoughts below and enjoy the Friday Freebies below.
